How do I hook up a passive sub to a stereo?

[Matthew Lucas]

Do i need any other amps?

My stereo is a philips fw-p78

The sub is a durabrand sw-sp1

You would have to use something like this

connecting the front left and right speakers and sub. You won't have a way to set the levels to match and the result might be worse than without.
A self powered subwoofer would work much better.
