ok just so I'm clear on this;
- I have no clue what bike you have RG ultra 2013
- You have a SS PN4.320D amp and PN2.350
- You have a Clarion VZ401 head unit
- You have 2 pair of Polk DXi650 speakers in the fairing/lowers (4.320 amp)

going to go on an assumption here.
GP probably told you to wire the front RCA outputs of the head unit into RCA Y adapters then plug all 4 of those into the PN4.320D which is correct. Each speaker though IMO should be wired to its own output/channel on the amp as this amp has plenty of good clean power to drive those speakers.
The rear RCA outputs of the head unit are going to the PN2.350D for saddlebag lids I assume or is it rear tourpak pods? What speakers are in there?

He has 2 amps and 2 pre ampouts. Irecommended to hook 1 amp to each pre-amp, run the 4 ch amp o thefront 4 spwakers, and the 2 ch ampon the rear wiredin parallel, aslog as they were both 4ohm........

ok braveheart1222.. I looked into the setup a little more and here's my suggestion.
Leave the rear speakers and amp wired as you have it now because you're going to need the power of the 350D to drive those RF speakers. They have an "ok" sensitivity rating which usually means more power to them will make them perform better.
The 320D though, I still think (if this is not the way it's wired currently) that you get 2 y adapter RCA cables (1 female to 2 male), plug 1 into each of your left and right RCA cables currently going to the 320D, then plug all 4 of those into the amp. Now wire each speaker to each a channel so you're running 4 channel inputs, and 4 channel outputs.
