ok to help you out you need to splice one speaker or both speakers and run the positive and negative to an adapter you can buy for ~$30 to change it to RCA's which you can connect to an amp.

Its called a high pass filter. But honestly, with the price of decks these days, even ones people are selling on here for cheap....get a new deck. lol

Just get a new deck...stock sound horrible compared to my alpine. I got a fairly cheap one too, still lasting me 2.5 years and sounding clear with my subs. Also if you have an ipod the newer headunits will hook up to it real easy so thats a plus too, mines old and I can still control my ipod thro the HU.

As stated above you could just pick up one of these from Wal-Mart. Not the greatest quality but it'll get the job done. Unfortunately since you are splicing from the rear speakers, you will get treble out of your subs too.

recommend what they are saying...but you can also buy "hi-level-in amp" that takes inputs straight from the speakers...

speakers are high level and RCA's are low level compared to speaker level..its up to you.

yeah man just go with a peripheral P50 and tie them inline with your front speakers and run RCA's back. its the easiest way to go.
