Buy a high level to low level converter. What you do is take to converter and splice your two rear speakers into the converter by tapping into both rear speakers positives and negatives. This is easily done using wire taps that you can buy at a local Radio Shack. What this does is turn the high level signal into a low level signal that your amp can pick up using aftermarket rca cables. Any more questions just ask, this was kind of a quick overview of how to do it. If needed I will go into more detail.

Something like this if you are broke:

And also you need to use the amplifier's low pass filter.
