I don't think that's a four channel I think that would be a 2 channel. I Have a four channel right here, and it has four terminals for front, and four for the rear "8 hookups total" Anyway, What ohm is the sub and we could help you better. Guessing it is a 4 ohm sub, I would bridge it, if that amp can do it. If not just run it from the one "hookup" - to - and + to + from the sub. If that helps any :)

I'd say stick with the three 10's. If you don't think that is loud nuff, consider building your self a ported box. If you need help, someone here would be glad to help. And don't forget. Welcome to car audio central!

It is a 4 channel amp by the way you describe the RCAs in. If the sub is a single voice coil just bridge it to the rear terminals.
If the sub is a dvc you can probably get away with bridging the front on one coil and the rear on the other.
The three 10"s would probably be louder than a single 12 if your powering them correctly. If you dont have enough power chances are a single 12 with the correct power will be louder.
It helps to have all the facts/info first :)
