Works...kind of...
Not bad for a freebie! 
What headunit do you have?
Unless your Dad gave you it, you need to go buy a wiring kit.
It'll have the power cable with fuse (goes from the battery to the amp), an RCA cable (goes from headunit to amp, send the audio signal), a remote cable (tells the amp to turn off when the headunit is off) and speaker cable to go between the amp and sub.
Make sure the level/gain on the amp is all the way down or you'll kill something.

omg i tried to make as much sense as i can, and from common sense i think i know what your talkin about... i deffo need a wiring kit because the guy stil had the wires wired up in his car, and my head unit is standard atm but am thinkin of getting a new one soon..
this is the first time ive come across in car stuff,.. i never done anything besides the exterior..
I think you need a 10 gauge wiring kit mate
Works...kind of...
If it's standard, you'll NEED a new headunit.
OEM's dont have pre-outs.
This is the kit I bought for mine, same wattage as you have:

You wont need to spend a fortune on wiring.

You need a wiring kit (the one above comes with everything including terminals and connectors, even the correct fuse) and a new headunit.
Your sub and amp are rated at 250w and 290w respectively so you'll have some overhead with that wiring kit.
What's your budget on a H/U?

£200 is a good budget dude. I was expecting half that!
IMO I'd go second hand, you get a much better deal that way. A few people are selling headunit's on here.
I bought mine from ColinG a few weeks back and I'm highly impressed by it (one of the best you can buy for sound quality).
This is what I'd suggest for new.

Whatever you do, don't scrimp on the H/U is my advice.
It's what processes all the different frequency's from the cd/ipod and sends them out to all the correct area's. Well that's the idea, but anything less than £100 tends to struggle doing that properly.
When you do get one, try it before you fit the sub with the standard speakers, I bet the difference in quality will be quite surprising.
