So I plan to use a couple of 10" bass guitar speakers for subs.

I had this conversation with someone else here in the past, you may want to reconsider that decision. Most bass guitar amp speakers have a frequency response range that makes them unsuitable for subwoofer use IMO, they just won't play low enough. For example, a 10" Celestion Pulse10 is rated to play from 45Hz-3.5kHz. Compare that to a 10" Kicker CVR (cheap, run of the mill car subwoofer) at 25Hz-500Hz. A 20Hz difference may not seem like a lot, but it makes a big difference when it's down that low. Plus you really don't need all the extra high frequency response that a bass guitar speaker offers for a subwoofer application. Subwoofers aren't usually playing anything above a few hundred Hz.
