Well, since this had been done to death, I think i can answer it correctly. well, what you need to do is get a line level comvertor to change the speaker lines into RCA outputs. Or, if you amp has line level inputs, you can use the line leven inputs to connect the rear channels to the amplifier.

Well assuming you're mounting the amp in the trunk, you can just tap the rear speakers right in the trunk. Then all you have to run is you battery and remote leads.
