I have 3 or 4 power supplies laying around and 2 low powered amps(300watts rms@4ohm) And I would like to know if anyone knows how exactly to do it.

Would that be enough for your amp.... that's 360 - 480 watts. Considering 60% efficiency of your amp thats 216 - 290 watts of actual output power. Give or take. If it's an efficient sub, I suppose it'd be possible.
