just noticed that on CAD!! fuck me thats a good deal.

Wire teh subs in parrallel to show the amp 2 ohms and you will have loads of head room to play with on the amp and still power the subs easily

easiest way is an amp wiring kit it should have in it

Power lead and fuse (the one from battery to amp)
Earth lead
Remote wire (from back of headunit to amp)
Phono leads (preout from headunit to amp)
Speaker wire

mk1 saxo the positive connector to the battery has a bolt perfect for a ring connector. MK2 a little more difficult, you can either change terminals or drill a hole in the connector and bolt on the power lead

lol, hardest thing to do.. ever. a tip, to get the power lead through from the battery into the car, there is a rubber seal where other wires go through which can be found in the passenger footwell up a bit. hope u have tricky fingers becuase it is v. fiddly!
