First what are u trying to push, second, the amp is 150w rms. that mean constant power, and 250 @ 2 ohms, now you have power, gnd=ground, and remote<- that turns the amp on when you turn on the car, power or the + sign is what gets connected to the battery, then the ground/gnd or - sign is what gets screwed to the metal of the car, then there is the remote this wire gets connected to your radio, or to any accessory fuse, i.e. lighter, radio fuse, or if you have an aftermarket radio, then it gets connected to the blue with white stripe wire, that will be the amp turn on wire.
You will need red wire about 17ft, black wire about 1ft, and 15 to 16 ft of remote wire, or you can just by an amp kit, that will be easier.
now that the amp is done, time to do the speakers;
You have + and - on the amp, and your speakers have the same signs as well, just make sure when you wire the speakers + goes to + and - goes to -. if you need more help call me @ 6314330567

Friend of mines gave me a alpine 3516 power amp, was just wondering if I can hook it up or even use it for a stock stereo

Yes it can be used with most stock stereos. If you've never interfaced an amp with a factory radui before i highly recommend having it professionally installed.

Amp cutting out when bass hits

With an amp like that you can not pull enough power from you cars battery alone. That is why when it hits hard it drains the amps from your battery and you amplifier cuts out. The light on the amplifier most likely dims when the bass hits. You need to get a capacitor. They are easy to hook up on the main power wire. You can get one from http://phatcaraudio.com/capacitors.html or get a used one off ebay.com. Good luck

Multi amp hook-up

honestly i dont think those to amps will push cvxs no matter how you wire them up.
the rms on the 200 should be used to push a door speaker.
the 800watt should deff just be hooked to 1 cvx but still wont max it out.
