Sub Woofer Install!!

[Diy]

Hey guys I’m new here I’ve never installed a subwoofer before and I’m going to attempt to do it but I need help on the installation part of it. Bought a sub and a wiring kit if you guys could let me know what I need to do I would appreciate it!! The links are below to what I have

Can you provide some info about your car and what equipment is currently in there?

Those subs are 400w RMS each, and that dual enclosure is 800w RMS with a 2ohm load.
That's a 4ch amp that does 55w x 4 @ 4ohm, & 75w x 4 @ 2ohm. Even bridged that amp is 150w x 2 @ 4ohm.

That isn't a subwoofer amp, and this won't work. Rockville is a budget brand, and I personally would look for something better, but if you REALLY want to stick with them, you want this amp instead:

(and for that price, there are better options).

(You technically could cut out a hole so you can add another cup, or some way to add terminals to that enclosure. Then wire them separately and run that amp bridged to those subs, but you'll be getting about 1/2 of what they will do with an amp that can give em the power they were designed for. Not suggesting this for you/OP, just including it in case someone wants to say, "well, you could...".)
