for sure. does the amp have high level inputs? If not you can purchase a high level to pre amp, heres an example, http://www.mysimon.com/Car-Audio-Acc...mlpid=37540962
I think they require 12V power too.

I would find which wires are for ther rears (onm the HU) and use them.
After all, when you go to a concert, are the concert speakers not up front? (bass is multidirectional as you know that.)

Is this a2 CH amp? is it 2 ohm stable? 1 ohm stable ? heh heh
Are the speaks 4 ohm? single or dual DVC?
you can bridge them, put them in series, and so on.....

no 12v required. only signal from two speakers. grab a small length of rcas, or long if you put the LOC behind the radio. they have adjuststable gain on it too. nice units,

I dont know about you guys but on my stock unit you can definatly not hook up an amp to it because it has no outputs, like most stock car radios.

You use a Line Output Convertor, as 4lowlife gave you alink. that means to click on it, and see what it is. A LOC takes high level input,(speaker level) and turns it into rca input. You attach speaker leads, usually Right Rear and left to it, and on the other side, you get RCA jacks.
