on the 4 channel amp- 2 or 4 OHM means the amplifier is capable of running either load- a 2 ohm load is typically harder on an amplifier as it has 1/2 the resistance of a 4 ohm amp. Virtually all 4 channels on the market today can run either load.

Since the goal is just to power 4 5.25" speakers, any 4 channel amp will do and IF you are using it with a subwoofer get one that has what they call a "high pass crossover"- that will sort the frequencies out so only mids / highs go to the smaller speakers.

Virtually every 5.25" speaker on the market is a 4 ohm variety so if you are simply plugging one speaker per channel on the amp then it's all going to run at a 4 ohm load. That's as simple and as perfect as it gets.

The subwoofer amp probably has a "low-pass crossover" in it- you activate that so it sends only low bass to the subwoofer.

Oh, and on your car notice that on your car it probably has a perforation exactly dead center in the sheetmetal that is behind the rear seat and separates the trunk- should be about the approximate size of the armrest in the back seat- it was designed to provide an opening for skis (assuming the car had the options)

Hit it with a hammer, and it comes out- then your bass is vented through into the cab.

I know your car well.
