Default What am I missing?

This is my first attempt at an actual instal. Ive done a h/u and speakers before but never a whole system. I dont know what I need for wiring. My last system I had CC do it and they charged me what seemed like a butt load so I dont want to do that again. Im pretty sure I can handle this by myself. I just dont know what Im doing.

Anyways heres what I have or am getting really soon, I just want to know what else I need so I dont start and realize I cant finish.

H/U: Eclipse CD7000
Speakers: Infinity Kappa 60.7cs, Infinity Kappa 63.7i already hooked up through the factory wiring
Amps: ED nine.2 for the sub at 4 ohms, ED nine.4 for the speakers at 2 ohms
Sub: Infinity Kappa Perfect 10 VQ in harmnonic_tc box

I see a few different amp kits available and I dont know the difference. I dont know the difference between a patch cable or an rca cable. I basically have no idea how to do this. Do I have to do anything for the speakers to run at 2 ohms or the sub at 4 ohms. I never understood ohms. The sub amp says 1 x 400 @ 4Ohm (bridged). How do I bridge the sub? I know youre not supposed to run certain cables together because they cause noise. Which ones can run together and which cant?

Sorry for being such a noob. Please dont yell at me Thanks for any help.

to bridge a sub you need to put the negative speaker wire on channel 1 and the postive on channel 2 but if the speaker is not a 4ohm speaker then you will not get the 400 watts like it says

the sub is a 4 ohm sub. So I'd take the - of channel one to the - terminal and the +of channel two to the + terminal? Thats really simple. The things you learn. Does the fact that the speakers are 2 ohms and the sub is 4 ohms make a difference? They will be wired to two seperate amps, one for the sub and the other for the speakers.
