Help wiring up amp and speakers

I have an amp that came out of another vehicle that I was hoping I could use in my truck. Its a Phoenix Gold Tantrum 400.4. I would like to hook it up to some speakers I have available to me also. I would just like to see if this gets me the sound quality I'm looking for. If not, I'd like to be able to add the JL Audio W3v3 8" sub that already comes in a compact enclosed boxed. I dont know if they will work well together or not. I dont know much about car audio equipment but I'm interested in installing this stuff myself. How difficult would wiring any of this stuff up be? If you know of some links to any tutorials abt wiring amps and speakers up then I would really appreciate it.
