ok what kind of help do u need? be specific.

You need monoblock amplifier that can give you 300watts at 2 ohm load.

What else? I even have one but its not a brand name (its magnum 1000w max , 250-300 RMS)

If u want a brand name just search it on ebay im pretty sure the are bunch of them in there.

and also the wires on this box i bought look almost like speaker wires

there pretty small

ohms is a resistance/load....the subwoofer will have an ohm load, in this case dual 4 ohm, which means it has 2 voice coils each with a 4ohm load. you can wire the 2 coils together parallel to get 2ohm load, or in series to get 8ohm load.

as i said before, you will want an amp that can put out 300w rms @ 2ohm load monoblock.

16 gauge speaker wire will be fine for this power level
