The amp has four total speaker connections (two speakers, Speaker A and Speaker B)

I have a diagram posted, is this how i should hook these subs up? Should i simpily hook one sub to Speaker A and the other to Speaker B?

yes that amp is not stable at a 2 ohm mono load so stereo is your only option.

since your radio has RCA outputs, run your RCA's from the deck's RCA outputs (just plug them in) directly into your amps RCA Inputs.

I didnt know the RCA plugs on the back of radio's are for subs. Are all radios like this? I thought the RCA plugs were an aux. input on the radio.

yep, deck nowadays all come with pre-amp subwoofer outputs. most deck have 2 and 3 sets of RCA outputs now, so you can hook 2 and 3 amps up. Or some will have dedicated outputs like rear and front plugs
