Once you connect the deck via RCA's to an amp, and connect all the speakers to the amp(s), the deck will not produce power output. All the power will come from the amp. The amp is 140 watts, the sub amp is probably 160 watts at 2 ohms (does it have a 1 @ 4 ohm rating?). If not, that is not an amp that you can use to power a subwoofer, which means it is not a bridgeable amp. Don't add everything together unless you are figuring out power wire requirements, in which case 8 gauge will be sufficient.
