Ill get pics up later.

For 1 thang, your 2 JL 12W3's are way underpowered with that 500 watt JL amp. Do you know if they are 2 ohm or 4 ohm subs ? Hopefully 4 ohm, if you want to keep powering them with that JL amp for now.
What head are you using ? Is it the stock head ?
What are your 4 full range speakers ?
The Almani 4 channel likely does around 75 watts RMS per channel, which is fine, but not near the rated 125 watts RMS. Otherwise, looks like a solid amp.
The Almani amp should have an 80 amp fuse immediately after the distribution block in the minimum 4 gauge power wire going to it. The JL amp should have a 60 amp fuse likewise located in its minimum 8 gauge power wire. You should have a minimum 2 gauge main power wire from the battery to the distribution block with a 150 amp fuse within 18 inches from the battery.
Make sure all that is good to go.
