The 4 channel amp is SoundStrem eJay i think, and the other one is Lighting Audio Bolt. the sub is Rockford Punch 12". I think ,they are all 4 ohms.

well if you only have two subs the best config. will be stereo, not bridged for that amp. and the same goes for the 4 channel run all speakers stereo to the amp. you didnt say what the crossover is and that is a hole different store to fine to.(need more info) . as far as power and ground wire a 4awg amp kit will work. power wire ran from battery fused no more than 18" away from battery(fused accordingly) for amps. power wire to a distubation box near amps, you can step down in size for the power wire to each amp. say like a 8 awg. (short distance to amp). for the ground you'll need to keep it less than 18" in length from chassis to distubution box (seprate)from power. for ground to amps.
