Get a line out converter that uses speaker outputs and converts the signal to aRCA cables.

Tap to the rear speakers, less work.

Personally I would get a hi-lo converter that you can use behind the factory head unit. Best Buy sells a PSI2 converter for $40 that will allow you to get a low level signal from the non amplified leads coming out of the radio. Also, by hooking up your RCAs and grabbing your remote turn on lead for your amp behind the factory deck, you will have alot less work to do if you ever decide down the line to get a new aftermarket deck. These are my suggestions, its easier to do things right the first time than to try and save time.
