You can go to Jaycar or any car audio place.
Get yourself a Hi-to-Lo converter.

So you wire your deck speaker cables into the converter, to output RCA cables for the amp.
Or these days you can buy an amp that accepts Hi-level inputs then you can just wire it to the deck speaker outputs.

edit:- forgot to mention because of doing it this way, you don't get full sub output control

+1 for the Jaycar high to low convertor, only $15

you will need a 4 channel amp to re-power the speakers you disconnect for the Jaycar's input btw.

x2 chan for the 2 speakers and two for bridging or a dual coil sub

It will all be the same cabling such as remote, power, earth, etc. The only difference is the rca's will plug into the high low converter

It should just tap into your speaker wire. Is your amp in the boot? If it is just tap into the rear speakers. Easy to do as the wires are just there. Then run the rca's from the high/low converter to your amp and that's it.
