You could do it fairly easy...it will not sound as good as getting a new HU though.....all you need to do is connect the rear speaker wires in your car to the amp....you may need a cross-over box if the amp only supports RCA plugs.

You should just hook up some subs. It will be better that way. You need RCA cables and you might want a filter that takes away all the high frequencies.

As for the rest... I'm tired and do not feel like lookingup the info. But using the rear as the signal sounds great to me. Filter out the highs to the rear speakers.

Or you can just save up about 200 bucks(350 would be nice) and get something off ebay. I got my $900 Sony deck off ebay for $390 shipped.

The part you need is called a line output converter (LOC) it transfers high level signal to low level signal, like what your amp needs. Make sure you get a good one, install edge make a decent one for about $25. You also can add a line driver output to increase the voltage in your rca's. Any questions how to just ask.
