You can tap into the rear speaker in the trunk and run those wires to the speaker level inputs on the amp which will be the easiest way.

The other way is to get a amplifier interface that connects behind your radio and adds 2 sets of RCA connections. Then you run RCA cables from there to the trunk.

The Amp hook-up kit that I linked you to before will work for that amp since it's an 8ga kit.
I've also bought some stuff from a company called KnuKonceptz and it's all been real nice stuff.
Here's their amp kit.

It comes with RCA cables which you may or may not need though.
Thanks! I'll be installing it with help from my dad, he knows his way around those things.

And I will probably be using my rear speaker wires to hook it up, the stock speakers aren't so amazing so it won't matter much to me if they're inactive.

Thanks for the amp kit link too!

Your dad probably knows this but he can just tap into the wires and your rear speakers will still work.

good luck! Hope the install goes smoothly.

yeah the installation for the amp was a little too complex for me, It would have taken too much time. So I'm going to get a local audio shop to hook the amp up and possibly install two new rear speakers, depending if i see something i want. all of that should happen sometime this week.

I saw this and thought I would want one. Then I google searched and found that they are a bit out of my price range. My entire system is approx. 800-1000 dollars at most, with 2 12's. Stealthbox for those 12's? $1300. I couldnt justify spending more than my complete system just for the box. They do look nice though.
