Before I go ahead and finish my install on a 2005 GMC Yukon, I have a few questions....

I will be using a fosgate 800a2 to power 2 JL 10w6 speakers wired at ~3 ohms, each speaker will get ~300 watts.  A kicker ZR120 (30x2 @ 4ohms) to power a stock bose subwoofer  in the center console.  A soundstream VGA 320.4 (80x4 @ 4ohms) will be pushing 2 mb quart rce 216 and 2 mbquart dke 116. 

Now my questions...

Q:  I will wire the stock bose woofer by taking the two pos coming from the woofer and putting them into the pos of one channel, and putting the two negatives into the neg from the other channel (bridged amp). Is this wiring correct?  I already have tried it and it sounded very good.

Q:  Rca output front will go into one input of the four channel amp and rca output rear will go into the other input of the 4 channel amp.  From this amp I will run another small rca from the output to the small kicker amp.  Is this right?

Q:  I am running a 4 gauge wire from battery (w/ fuse) to a dist block.  From there, four 8 gauge cables will go out.  One to each amp and the other to a power inverter that will remain off until it is used.  Is this correct?

Q: The ground will be also a 4 gauge wire from the chasis to a dist block and then spread out to the four sources.  This ok too?

THX!

Q1 - I'll let someone else handle this.. no experience w/ bose stock drivers.

Q2 - You have 2 4 channel amplifiers? Am I missing something, looked like you have 1 4 channel and 2 2-channel. Basically as long as the RCA signal being passed is full-range, reasonable clean, and the final combination gives you the fading control you need, whatever you pick is fine.

Q3 - 8g is a tad small for the sub amp, depending on how hard you drive things. Otherwise looks good. If you listen at reasonable volume levels you'll probably be fine.

Q4 - Grounding sounds good.

Hope this helps, maybe someone w/ bose experience can answer #1.
