From the amps to the speakers. Correct me if I’m wrong fellas.
The front rca from hu will feed one amp (4 channels), the rca from rear of hu will feed the other amp (4ch). That’s how I would wire it in this case but many options.

Agreed, that would be simpler. As you said both will work.

This is what I was thinking but there may be a better way.

Yup, agreed that is simpler and makes more sense.
Another piece of advice, make sure your Y splitters are 2 male to 1 female. Not trying to insult anyone, but I screwed that up once.

This way!!! Again watch your red and whites on the splitters to keep it in stereo.

Chananel 1 (Left)
Channel 2 (right)
Channel 3 (left)
Channel 4 (right)

So you need to get a splitter from your radio so that you have four outputs coming from that Front L/R RCA. Do the same with the rear outputs of your radio to the other amp.

Wire EACH speaker to it's one positive/negative on the amp.

Gain on 6.5 set at 11 o'clock, set it to HPF and turn the freq dial to around 100hz
Gain for the horns at 10 o'clock no need to adjust HPF
Gain for 6X9 at 12 oclock, set it to HPF and turn dial to around 70hz.

Turn your volume up until it distorts, then back your volume down an notch. That's your max volume.
I am liking this setup, how do I get a little more low end bass. at this setup it seems the volume is awesome clarity is good, but not much bass

Any thoughts???
