What I was meaning was pull out the infinity amp and match up the mygig speaker wires to the new amp 4channel and them the line out on the sub wire
All I eventually wanna do is replace the entire system minus the mygig

Ok, you're going to run into another problem. When you have the Infinity system, the MyGig only has 2 outputs that get connected from the connector on the MyGig to the amp inputs on the Infinity amp. Those outputs from the MyGig happen to be the Rear outputs. So from that connector diagram that I posted for you earlier, you will need to run 4 more wires to get the Front audio outputs from the MyGig to work.

I even have some advise for that since I have a 16 month old.

When my son was 2 months old, I purchased a Samsung 26" LED TV. Costs about $200 (Sam's/Costco), bought mine for $150 in Sam's reduced section. At 1st my wife yelled at me for buying another TV...."We DON'T need any more TVs!!!".

I mounted this TV on a wall, right next to my son's crib. Just out of his reach. Along with connecting my cable TV to it, Samsung TV's have a USB connection, where if you plug a Hard Drive or USB stick into that USB port, you can play movies directly off of that hard drive. I got a 500GB USB HDD, and on that hard drive with my PC, I download or ripped from DVD, a bunch of movies on it like, Shark Tales, Cars 1&2, ICE Age (all of them), RIO, Marmaduke, etc..etc...etc. So in other words, no need to have a big mess, in trying to connect all the wires for a separate blueray or DVD player to play a movie. A single Usb HDD is easier, and much more functional.

Anytime, my wife or I need some time to do something around the house and we want to keep our son occupied and out of trouble and harms way. We put him in the crib or his play pen, fire up the TV, put on one of his favorite movies which we've learned to be Rio, Ice Age/Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Cars I or Over the Hedge and he's occupied and laughing for hours. The only problem we ever run into, is some times we're so entertained watching him dance around and laughing so much, we often sit down and start watching the movie with him and forget to get the stuff done we wanted to.

My wife has actually apologized to me for originally yelling at me for buying that TV. She's now like, "I'ld never be able to get anything done around this house, without that TV, because I'ld be constantly having to chase our son around or holding him to keep him from crying. Thank you honey, for buying that TV."

You'll need a total of 4 line outs, to feed the inputs of the 4 channel amp, so you'll need to plan that part out. Either (2) 2 channel line out converter, or (1) 4 channel line out converter.

The other thing I'm a little unsure of is how you're going to get an input signal to your Mono sub amp, since I'm unfamiliar with the components you're getting. Some amplifiers as in your 4 channel amp have a Sub RCA output connector. So it takes the Line ins, you're connecting to it, then sums those signals together, adds a low pass filter, and then you have a sub output to run to your input of the sub amp. You could also buy a couple RCA Y adapters, so you can split the L/R inputs that are feeding your four channel amp and connect them at the same time to the RCA inputs on your sub amp. So you'll need to figure out a way to feed an input to your sub amp.

"Kicker ZX10Sum8 Summing LOC"

Without a link, I'm not sure what that is or why you would need it. People are always posting Brand names and model numbers of audio components all the time and expect everyone to know what every part made by hundreds of companies does. I don't know that kind of stuff, I just know what needs to be done and what a particular component needs to do for me to do it.

Your amp doesn't have power because you need to connect a switched power wire to that "remote" connection. This is all in the owners manual of your amp. Please trying reading that before considering to call me.
