Sounds like you have the subwoofer? If so you need an amp to power it.

you're going to need an amp, wiring kit, and a line-out converter.

You will need an amplifier, a LOC, and a speaker wiring kit. You may need to rewire the sub itself depending on what you need to do in regards to impedence (A soldering iron is handy).
