You should get a mono amp to run your subs and get yourself a decent 4 channel amp to run your speakers.

what ohm are the subs? dual2ohm dual4ohm? need to know that, if they are dual2ohm then the kicker zx750.1 would be a good choice.

Get an amp that is 2 ohm stable and puts out 800watts RMS @ 2 ohms and run the subs in parallel to get a 2 ohm load 4+4 in parallel would give you a 2 ohm load.Get any 4 channel amp rated @ 4 ohms for your speakers.

the zx750.1 is 750rms at 2 ohms, its underrated and would push those subs perfect.

Are they in the kicker boxes that say 4 ohm final impendence on the terminals? Or does it say 4 ohms on the bottom of the sub by the magnet?

They would be D4's. You need an amp that does 800 rms @ 1 ohm :-) Can grab a RD 800.1 for $275 shipped. OR a Sundown SAE-1000D for $300 shipped.
Contact me for more info.

Don't use "Peak" power. It really doesn't mean much.
Are your subs 4ohm DVC or SVC? What are their power limits? If they're 800w rms each, then you'll need 1600w rms amp. If they're only 400w rms, then the kicker amp should work.
You don't "bridge" the amp with your subs. It's a mono, so you really are "bridging" the subs instead.

If they are 4 ohms, they are Dual 4 ohm subs. Wire subs in parallel and you will get a 1 ohm load. The amps I mentioned above would be perfecto for you :-) Question is, are you wanting to amp your door speakers too?
