Question
i was just wondering how u hook it up for the subs because i cd player dont have rca out-puts on it

Answer
You need a hi-low converter.  This allows you to tap into the speaker lines and convert the signal for rca inputs.  You can find them in many places.  Don't know if Walmart carries them anymore, but Bestbuy and other audio shops all carry them.

You can also order them from crutchfield.com and installer.com and such other places.

Depending on your car, it may be specific to your make or model, but most cars can use a generic one.  See here for starters:

Here is one that is sort of general purpose and works with just about any older car:
