To mount the sub, I usually use t-nuts and bolts.

yea but what kind of wire do i need to wire it to one Ohm and then connect it to the thing on the side of the box ( any special connectors or speaker wire)

Just some regular speaker wire, I used 12 gauge. And to get it through the box you can either get a terminal cup, binding posts, just use a bolt through the box, or drill a hole, run the wire through and seal the hole up. To wire it to 1 ohm, just wire up one voice coil to the amp, then put a jumper from the + of that coil to the + of the other coil, and a jumper from the - of that coil to the - of the other coil.

The sub should have a set of push terminals on the back of the sub, you just strip some wire, push down the terminals and put the wire in. As for wiring to the terminal cup, those usually have spade termainals on the back, you can either crimp on some female ends on the wire and push them on, of you can solder the wire directly to the spades.

Edit: The back of the terminals might have a set of studs with nuts. If that's the case, you can crimp on some ring terminals and bolt them down. All depends on the type of terminal cup they put in it.
