^^ What he said...

hook up the speaker wire to where it says BTL in the first pic, this will bridge the rear channels to one channel, then hook up the rca's to the rear side (right set of inputs)

It's a four channel amp, but i think you can hook up the sub to the rear channel, and hook up your two rear speakers to the front channel (you'd have to run two sets of rca's from your deck, 1 for the sub and 1 for the rear signal).

thats a sony xplod amp right?

from the diagram the BTL bridge (thats wut ull need to power ur sub) <- speaker wires from teh sub go here

and for the rca cables (note on the diagram the bridging is available on the rear channel only) plug them into the rear set of rca inputs only.

this configuration amp is very common, u bridge the rear channel to power a sub, and use the front channel to power a set of speakers (in some cases my buddies just splice the front channel and power both front nad rear speakers, but its obvoiusly not recommended)

also depending on if ur deck has a low pass filter ur goign to want to turn the low pass filter on that amp on.

good luck!
