If an amplifier is AC 220Watt and 12 DC so up to how many watts or ohms speakers you can use on it?
Your question doesn't fully make sense. Let me see if I can answer part of it. If your amp puts out 220 watts, the speakers should be rated for at least 220w, or they may be destroyed if you turn the amp all the way up. Watts are a measurement of power, in the case of speakers they are rated for how much power (watts) they can handle.
Ohms is a different thing altogether. Ohms are a measurement of resistance to electrical flow. Amps are usually rated to work with certain impedance level speakers (4 ohm, 8ohm, 16ohm, etc.) the lower the ohms, the harder the amp works. I know it seems backwards but it isn't. each amp is different so you would have to read the amp's spec sheet to see what they reccomend. I have no idea what you are asking for with the "12 DC" thing.
How do you hook two subs up to one amp?
It depends on the impedance of the subs, whether they are single- or double-voicecoil (SVC or DVC), and the rated output impedance of the amp. If you've got two 8-ohm SVC subs and your amp is rated for a 4-ohm load, then you can put them in parallel. If you've got two 4-ohm SVC subs and your amp is only rated for a 4-ohm load, then you'll have to put them in series, even though you won't be able to extract maximum power from the amp. With DVC subs, you've got more flexibility to get an efficient match. In any case, you have to pay attention to polarity.

Contact crutchfield radio / electronics they will provide you with a free wiring harness when you purchase the radio thru them which will allow you to connect your radio without effecting the cars other electrical systems.
the 1996 to 1998 Honda civic has the keyless entry module built into the factory radio, you will have to wire the factory radio in-line with your aftermarket radio, most people then hide the factory radio under the center console. your other options would be to go without keyless entry or install an aftermarket unit.
Why wont aftermarket radio turn on with correct premium sound wiring harness in my 1997 4runner?
Check your fuses
I recently installed an aftermarket stereo and had the problem of the unit turning on and off repeatedly. The factory ground wire was to thin/weak. I grounded my new unit directly to some metal that was inside the dash where the stereo was to be mounted. It worked well and stayed on after that.
Why does ohm's matter with speakers?
the vibration produced in the coil of a speaker is due to current passing through it hence it obey ohms law

Is there a way to bypass the remote wire when installing amp to factory stereo?
Yes you can connect it right to the hot wire along with the Main B+ but why? Most car stereo have a wire for electric antennas (labeled as such) and they are very handy to turn on the amp especially if you want to connect the amp main B+ right to the battery for high current which is desirable, you can also probe the fuse box with a voltmeter and find a fuse that only has power when the key is on or in ACC.
The reason being y i dont want to use the remote activation is because im going ipod amp speakers and my ipod dosent have a remote activation. If the dont know its there then they wont look to steal it
What does the power antenna hook up to?
A power antenna typically connects to the vehicle's radio or audio system, allowing it to extend and retract automatically when the radio is turned on or off. It may also have a power source connection, usually to the vehicle's fuse box or battery, to receive the necessary electrical power. Additionally, it may connect to a ground point to ensure proper functioning.

What does 20 watts RMS50 peak x 4 channels mean in a car stereo?
RMS is basically the amount of watts that the stereo can continuously dish out and the peak is like the most watts it can give out but only in bursts. And the the amount of channels is how many speakers it can give power too. So basically you can continuously give out 20 watts to each speaker if you have four hooked up to the thing.
