I am putting together a system but I barely know anything about wireing everything up and all. Anyway heres what I plan on getting, 2 10" Audiobahn DUB1200 dual 4ohm subs w/600rms watts, 2 infinity component speakers, 2 1200 watt sony xplod amps w/500x1 watts, and a panasonic cd unit. I need to know if I would need one or two amps for the subs, would i need an amp for the speakers, whats the best way to wire all of this, and how/can i bridge the subs?

How I would go about it is get 1 mono block amp for the subs that is stable down to 1 ohm. When you say your getting 2 component speakers do you mean 2 sets for front and back or just 1 set for front?

I mean just 2 speakers, one set. So your saying just get one mono amp to power the two subs then just bridge the subs? What should I do with the speakers?

The speakers, get a 2 channel amp to power them. If you're CD player is a decent one it will have at least a separate non fading RCA output. Connect your amp to those outputs and your other amp to your regular outputs.
As for wiring use thick wiring from your battery to a distro block. Ground your amps to the same ground. You can just splice the turn-on lead.
For wiring your subs to that amp, wire the subs and voicecoils in parallel to give the amp a 1 ohm load. Make sure the amp is 1 ohm stable otherwise you'll clip the signal and destroy the subs.
