Ok. Lets see. How I could do everything is use the 4 channel for your doors and use the other amp to power your sub. As long as you arent overpowering anything.
Run something big, like 0 guage to the distribution block and then run 4 guage to each of your amps. Run the cap for the sub amp and wire it in after the distribution block. Wire it inline with the power cable and ground the cap to the chassis.

Also, i would look into upgrading your alternator soonish. A cap will probably keep your system in check for now, but you will need more power later on. Also, buy a better battery than stock, something like an Optima.

I can't help you, but I can say that dun worry about yer shit being top notch, I don't have the greatest stuff either but it still sounds nice. When I came here I had a Kenwood POS deck and sony xplod speakers, and that was about it.

What i have.
1. Alpine Head Unit (9445 i think? it ends in 45)
2. 6.5 2 Way 65 RMS Kickers
3. 6X9 3 Way 90 RMS Kickers
4. Dual 12in sub enclosure, (1 terminal cup on back of box)
5. 600 Watt max 4 Channel Amp
6. 560RMS 980Max 2 channel Amp (can be bridged mono)
7. 3 Farad Cap
8. 2 Position Distribution block

Can anybody help me on how to set this up? I dont need help on how to install the stuff, just what is the best way to set it up.

I was going to power the 4 speakers with the 4 channel, and bridge the amp mono for my subs, but how should i incorporate the distribution block and cap in there? Like how would i set it up?

Thanks a lot for all you help. (PS. I no my stuff isnt the greatest, but im just a teen on a buget)
