good copy bolo, But I already inspected all those and found this one to be the one I think I want beforehand,

But since I am semi new to the world of car audio self installation , I want someone that is alot more knowledgeable about this to double check maybe find a better wiring diagram just so I dont blow my new subs and amp. thanks

The drawing you have is pretty spot on, if you wire it this way, you get a 4 ohm load on your amp and it pushes the rated watts at 4ohm. I have my DVC 1ohm sub wired in series to put a 2ohm load on my amp and it works great.

I didn't want to run the wire threw the cab so im going to run it under the body , I got some waterproof kevlar wrap with a hard plastic outside to cover and waterproof/armor the wire so I dont have to worry about it to much , but I was wondering where a good place is to have it 'reenter' the cab? Thanks

As far as subwoofers in a SUV, rear-firing is the only way to go in a SUV for mid level systems IMO.

Remote for your amp? Just use the one for the stereo. Tap the same line.
