You wire in parellel to drop the ohm rating so the speakers get more power to do this go + to + and - to - this will give you a 4ohm load and the amp in mono will see it as a 2ohm load. You don't need a divider because they are in mono. I don't know anything about the subs so can't help you there.

The 3Ks will work in any box. Dukk would be the man to ask about port size, length, etc. I think the 12s can go into .75 sealed each, not sure anymore. Decent subs, not great, but very decent for the $!!
That's the setup for mono. Make sure that your amp can handle that load though. Any of the big names will be able to without breaking a sweat: Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood, RF, PPI, PG, MTX, Orion, McIntosh, Eclipse, Xtant, etc. I think even USAccoustic can handle that load, just make sure you have the amp(s) well ventilated, regardless of manufacturer.
