Just get a new head unit. The stock one is crap. You can do it, but you will need to run a line-level output converter. It is really not worth it, as you will be amping an already processed signal, just inviting distortion in the signal. With that said, you just need an LOC (I think Crutchfield has them for $50-75). That converts the speaker wire output of the head unit into RCA's for the amp. Some amps do have line-level inputs, but they are few and far between.

Check the FAQ and search.... both VERY useful tools.
