Green = LR +
Green with black strip = LR -
Purple = RR +
Purple with black strip = RR -

So I ignore the rear (tape these up) as I am only using a 4 channel amp to amp front speakers and under seat subs.

So I get a RCA connector and fit on LF + & -
Then another RCa connector RF + & -

I could do the same with the rears and RCA - is there any benefit of having this connected?

Then on the return loom, same configuration as before but I fit
channel 1 - LF + & -
channel 2 - RF + & -

Channel 3 - L Sub + & - (the black cables with connectors)
Channel 4 - R Sub + & - (the black cables with connectors)

i think that is right? Can someone post a link to the correct type of RCA's needed?

You need mini screw driver to fit the wires.

For rears, just bridge them next to amp.

Again, put the amp on 2 channel mode. Feed it from pair of RCA and it will power all 4 channels.

If you ever go for 6 channel amp, then you can add RCA to rears and connect the returning wires to amp.

HTHs.
