You will need to run the RCA's to the head unit along with the signal wire.
Plug the RCA's into the head unit then find the wire coming out of your headunit (usually blue) that provides 12V when the head unit is turned on, or the wire that has 12V when the car is turned on and then connect that all to the amp.
next you will have to run power leads, 4ga is the best, you will need about 5M of red, run it from the battery, through the firewall at the accelerator cable, then down under the carpet and into the boot, it would be best to connect the earth wire inside the boot to some of the sheet metal, then connect it all up to the amp, hook the sub up and your done.
Now mif you can't figure it out from here either do some googling or take it to someone who knows what there doing.
yeah i wouldnt reccomend doing it unless you know what you're doing. I tried installing mine myself i think i connected the wrong wires, 12v with ground wire, and whats a remote wire?
It was easier than working out how my head unit went it.

Remote wire is like a switch which turns your amp/s on and off.
always ALWAYS research what your doing before you attempt things like this.
Know that if you dont disconnect the battery because your a sick ***** and think that nothing will go wrong and something does go wrong, what it can be. i.e. fuse.
Know what to take off and have some diagrams laying around, or ask someone who has done it before.
