Sorry for the late response hah.
It looks like you'll need an amplifier, just run left and right speaker outputs on your amplifier into the left and right inputs in the sub, then hook the smaller speakers to the speaker outputs on the sub. [Here's a video on that:] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zFs8uSZsCc)
Your amplifier (or receiver as they're many times called.) won't be as crazy as the back of that guy's, but the speaker hookups will probably somewhat be the same. Unless you get one that has RCA style speaker connections. Those are found a lot in older receivers though. Everything is color coded.
As for wire that's not to difficult at all. [Here's what you're looking for] (http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-14AWG-Speaker-Wire-Feet/dp/B00I8V8YE2/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1452545344&sr=8-14&keywords=speaker+wire)
Any thing labeled speaker wire will probably do. Higher quality stuff is thicker, meaning more copper wire inside, and has better rubber insulation on it. Wire thickness is measured in "Gage" The lower the gage number the thicker the wire. So 2 Gage wire is thicker than 14 gage wire. I know it seems backwards haha.

The spool of wire I linked is about 50 feet long. You may not need that much, or maybe you'll need more. You'll want to plan where you'll put your speakers before you buy the wire to make sure that it's enough. You'll be surprised at how fast you go through it!
With that large spool you'll make multiple speaker wires at whatever length you need. A pair of wire clippers cuts through them pretty easy. You'll also want a pair of wire strippers to cut the insulation off of the end, but not the copper wires inside. Need wire strippers? How about a clipper for when you need to cut through the whole wire? [Here's a cheap pair that combines both.] (http://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-3775-Electricians-Combination-Tool/dp/B000NPUK2A/ref=sr_1_9?s=power-hand-tools&ie=UTF8&qid=1452546538&sr=1-9&keywords=wire+strippers)
You can probably fine speaker wire and strippers somewhere locally too if you don't want to wait for shipping. Hopefully those links will let you know what you need.
Those wire strippers I linked have holes in the middle with numbers next to them. If you buy 16 gauge wire, place the wire in the hole labeled 16AWG, if you buy 12 gage wire place it in the hole labeled 12 AWG clamp down, and pull. It'll strip the wire nice n clean. I used to use scissors before I had one. Strippers make things so much easier though. It's really hard to carve off the insulation with a pair of ruddy scissors.
It's a lot to figure out at first, but it'll be worth it! Having this knowledge is a good thing for the future too. Installation companies charge a lot where I live.
