Can someone help me hook my sub/amp up?

[TonyAces]

Hey guys, I'm completely new to this and its kinda confusing. I got my amp, sub & box. Now I just need to get wire and hook it up. I bought a box with the slot on the side? I'm guessing that's a ported box, even though he said it was vented? Idk. There are wires already in the box as well so idk what to do with those. But anyways, the most important part: what wires do I need to go out and buy? I have a 1 channel monoblock amp, trying to put out a 4 ohm load of 600 rms onto my DVC sub. So I need to hook up the amp for 4 ohms. I need to know what wire to ask for at the store (sub to amp wire and amp to ground/battery wire) and how to wire it up to get 4 ohms.

1. Ported and vented mean the same thing.

2. 12ga speaker wire, 4ga power and ground wire. Go on amazon.com and just get a 4ga install kit, it will have everything you need.

3. That sub wont do 4ohm. Being dual voice coil your options are 8ohm or 2ohm.

what's the make and model of your amp?
