you would have to buy a amp for them..any stock or aftermarket h/u would not be fesible to use...go buy a 100 dollor amp and a $25 amp kit from walmart... www.ikesound.com has some good prices on profile amps that would power that well..what kind of subs?

as far as i know, speaker wire. if your using 2 channels on a 4 channel deck, you got 2 to work with, should be alright.

i would advise against it, you wont gain what they can deliver if properly powered.
