Heres the specs on this 4 channel amp...

4ohm load
40w x 2 FRONT
100w x 2 REAR

2ohm load
80w x 2 FRONT
200w x 2 REAR

4ohm load bridged (mono)
160w x 1 FRONT
400w x 1 REAR

I have a very hard time understanding this stuff because i'm new to car audio. Anyways, I have 2 decent 4 ohm 6x9's that can handle a lot of juice (100w rms). I want to power them to their full potential, but I don't want to bridge them because I want the stereo sound. I have two 12" single 4 ohm voice coil subs that I would LIKE to bridge.

Given those specs, and the way I want to wire my system, how much power exactly are the 6x9's going to get, and how much power are the subs going to get??

Well, according to your provided specs, you cannot bridge both subs off of that amp. Well, you can in series but they will ony show a 8ohm load to the amp which would give each sub about 100w which is the same if you connect them to the amp @ 4ohm stereo. The specs you listed under the heading 4 ohm load is the best you're gonna' get. (40w to each 6x9 and 100w to each sub)
