you have a lot of options. the first (and cheapest) would be to buy a 4 channel amp and run your left speakers in a parallel off one channel, the right speakers off the second and then bridge the last two for your sub. i've always bought pheonix gold... for the money you can't beat them:

http://cgi.ebay.com/PHOENIX-GOLD-V754-1 ... .m14.l1318" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

if you want a little more versatility you could buy two two channel amps.

i run an eclipse 8454 w/ diamond hex 5 1/4 components (no back speakers) powered by a pheonix gold octane 250 watt 2 channel and a kicker cvr 15 powered by an octane 400 watt 2 channel bridged.

whatever amp you get don't go for some crap name claiming 1000 watts. try to get a reputable name and get as close to the factory recomended power supply as you can. hope this helps.

your definatley gona need 2 amps, a 4 channel and a 2 channel, or mono amp, depending if your gona get another 15...you should stick to alpine if thats what you have now, they have some pretty decent amps for not bad price..pheonix gold is great but a lil more expensive...you could always get something a lil bigger like a planet audio or something thats rated for high current that you can load down with lots of speakers..im no pro but i kno youve got enough speakers requiring enough power that one amp probably just isnt enough..i think we have similar decks, mine doesnt have the usb tho
