Now I dont know weather or not to bridge the amp or realy what to do i have very basic knowledge of what to do i have a aftermarket deck so in your opinion how should i hook this up a diagram would be helpful

Definately bridge the amp, it will give u more bass. And if ur talking about starting from scratch, u gotta run the red power 8 gauge wire from ur battery or fuse box to the amp. From there u must connect the black 8 gauge grounding wire to a piece of raw metal on the car. what i mean by raw is that there is no paint getting int he way. Next run the RCA cords fromt he back of ur headunit (stereo) AND the amp turn on which will be a thin blue wire. Find where the amp turn on line is located in the wiring harness and attach that. Send both of those wires back to the amp and plug them in. From there just attach the positive and negative wires to the sub box and the amp and blast away.

    This will tell you step by step how to hook up an amp. And yes, I would recommend bridging the sub to your amp.
