The info we need --

Amp Power:

50 W x 2 @ 4 Ohms RMS
100 W x 2 @ 2 Ohms RMS
200 W x 1 @ 4 Ohms bridged RMS

Sub Power:

Impedance: 4 ohms
RMS: 150 w - The max power you should send from the amp
Peak: 800 w - this is irrelevant

So if you want to run that sub, hook the positive wire to one channel, and the negative to the other channel. Be sure the gain on the amp is turned about 3\4 of the way up, not completely up.

Tune the crossover's to run only low bass sounds. If there is a selection switch, set it to low pass. Set the adjustment somewhere between 60 - 80, or where ever it sounds best. And what type of box are you using?

What are the symptoms of the alleged blown sub? When you press it down by hand, does it spring back up? Try telling walmart it was defective.
