look at the parallel wiring diagram. Instead of running it to a switch, you use a two prong lamp plug. Use wire nuts and not electrical tape, scotch tape, etc. Use the appropriate gauge of wire. I'd recommend 12. Don't use speaker wire, get the right materials.

Plug it up, if it glows you did good. Check the wires in a few hours to feel for heat. If you've got heat there is too much resistance in the wires and you're looking at an accident waiting to happen
