Well, depending on what kind of amp and subs you bought, you may need several additional components to make this work.  Does the amp have high-level inputs so you can connect it to the speaker wires already in your car, or does it just have RCA inputs?  Does the amp have a low-pass filter to keep the high frequencies away from the subs?  If not, you'll need to install one.  Are you going to wire the subs together and bridge the amp mono, or power each sub with a separate amplifier channel? (I'm assuming you got a stereo amp).

Give us the brand and model for the subs and amplifier, and I'm sure we'll be able to give better suggestions.

Not really.  We need to know the impedance of each voice coil in your subs to tell you how best to hook them to the amp.  Also, is your amp stereo or mono?   By "Dual", I'm assuming you mean "stereo".  Can it be bridged to mono?  What's the lowest impedance it can handle in stereo? in mono?

Honestly, a brand name and model number for the subs and amp would really help.
