im pretty sure stock is 95amps actually, maybe im wrong

your ground should ALWAYS be bigger than your "power". if you ran 4 gauge from your battery, a 4 gauge ground is fine because the wire is usually shorter because your grounding it in your trunk. if your running it back up to the battery, i personally would make it bigger. but i dont think running it to the battery is necessary, we have a good grounding point in the trunk

so you've got your 1 amp power 2 4 ohm subs, at 2 ohms. you want to add another amp for just 1 sub, and power that at 2 ohms? you need a dual 4 ohm voice coil sub. also be carefull, all amps can basically run 2 ohm STEREO, but they cant run 2 OHM MONO, they do 4 ohm mono. 2 ohm may put them into protect. you will be running in 2 Ohm mono if hooked up correctly

what id do is get a second kenwood amp, unless you have the MA audio one already, im not a fan of MA audio. since you already have 2 custom made boxes, just replace your subs with 2 12" DUAL 4 SUBS. run 1 amp to each sub. i think you've got kenwood subs? ive heard the kenwood excelon subs, and they've got some good bump to them, sell your regular subs and get the excelon's, you'll me MUCH happier with this than adding another sub, you wont notice a 3rd sub really
