I presume you are referring to a standard head unit in a vauxhall.
Most aftermarket amplifiers have RCA inputs, hence why aftermarket headunits have RCA outputs. No vauxhall headunits have RCA outputs they only have high-level outputs going to the speakers.
These high-level outputs can be converted to line level RCA by the use of a converter, like this one here, so you can use an aftermarket amp.
Your amp settings should be how you want them, so that the gain is matched as such that it gives a good quality output (remember the gain control is NOT a volume control).
The volume of the sub will go up and down with the volume of the headunit.
