Its simple, really. You need something called a Line-out Converter or (LOC). It has wires comming from it, that should be labeled, and are usually in thsi order + - - +(+=positive, - = negative) and those 2 sets of positive and negative represent a left channel (+ , -) and right channel(-, +). Now all you have to do is connect the positive and negative of one channel, to the positive and negative terminals of the left speaker, preferably one in the rear, close to where you AMP will go, and the other to the rear right speakers positive and negative. Once the LOC is connected in such a way, you can run RCA or whats also referred to as Signal Cables or "Line Out" or pre-amp cables, from the LOC to your amp to give it signal. Be aware, some LOC come with 5 wires like so +- - -+, the 3rd, seperate negative cable is a ground wire for the LOC itself, you can connect that to the metal frame of your car, to a bolt or make your own connection to the frame with a drill. Its simple from there on.
