run the wires from the speaker inputs on the receiver to the speaker inputs on the amp of the sub. run your speakers from the speaker outputs on the sub amp. u are just using the high level inputs (speaker wire) instead of low level (RCA)

just use reagular speaker wire? im most likely going to use a plate amp for the subs. so go from like the positive of the reciver to the positve of the plate amp and then the negatvie to the negative? thats all? just use like the rear speaker inputs on the reciever and then run the wire to the inputs on the plate amp?
