So I just got a call from a friend who is opening up a new club sports bar and asked me if I could be his DJ for the weekends. I said yes.
He told me that his club sound system was:

He also told me that I would have to wire it up and bring my own wires. I have always been a mobile dj so all my speakers are powered. As I started looking owners manual for the QSC GX I seen there was multiple ways of hooking up these speakers and it has to do with ohms and loads and so I thought I should get some help from someone who is more experience as to how I should hook this up and what types of cables I should use.
My game plan is to hook up:
1 left and 1 right JBL speaker to the outputs on the back of the Yamaha using speakon-speakon cables
Hook up the Yamaha to QSC GX amp with ST outs on Yamaha using 2 1/4"-XLR cables (1 for each channel)
Then hook up the remaining 2 speakers using speakon-speakon cables from the back of the amp using channel 1 for the left speaker and channel 2 for the right speaker
I figured that this is the best way to do it.
Now however the bar owner told me that he maybe getting a pair of Harbinger HX118s subwoofers so to bring the xtra cables just in case. Adding those two extra subs in the mix just completely throws me of on what cables I need and how to hook them up.
So my first question is the way I have it set up for the first installation correct.
My next question is what is the best way to hook up everything including the subwoofers?

He told me that his club sound system was:
- 4 JBL JRX125 loudspeakers (stacked 2 left/2right
- 1 Yamaha Emx 5016 (16-input, 500W per Channel Powered Mixer)
- 1 QSC GX series amp (not sure which one but its likely the gx3)
