Not sure if you've already got any wires and what else you intend to connect to your car, but you need something like this

If it's just like a normal sub/amp combo, then you'll need a set of RCA's and a remote lead, also you'll probably need some power wire.
If that's the cae then buy an amp wiring kit and you should be up and running.
Have you got any pictures of where the wires connect to it?

Red and White will be RCA Cables, there should also be two more, one for power and one for remote, and as Mysteryboy said, you haven't been ripped off mate, my next sub and amp will be £900, there's no wires with that, only way you'll get wires is by buying a full package.
