If you look at other similar sub, you'll see that some of them also feature a second channel built in amplifier that will allow you to power another set of speaker from the amplifier powering the sub. That's also a cheap alternative to installing a dedicated amp just for 2 speakers.


And what about the speaker that I have in this line? Can I keep it too? Well that's really interesting

You simply wire the subwoofer amp input in parallel to any of the 4 speaker channel, usually you can input a left and right line, so 2 channel (2 pairs, 4 wires) and that replace a pair of RCA cable.
