Yeh there's a few different connectors you can use. Crimp connectors are like little hooks, and you crimp the conncetor and wire together.

if your only using one sub then it wont matter
just make sure the sub cables wont be touching in any way otherwise it will spark at you

Sounds like you've got a 2 channel. It should be bridgable (most amps are), meaning you use one positive from one channel, and a negative from the other channel. It's best to use this function for a Sub.

hmm that's a little strange. I can't think of anything it can be without doing research. have you checked that the remote cable is properly connected to the correct places on the amp and headunit? Checked it's a safe ground and checked the live wire is good? They all must be properly crimped and secured in place. not just bare wire twisted into positions.
