I'm not sure I understand the question? You want to power the stock speakers with an aftermarket amp...or you want to change speakers...or you're intimidated by removing rear deck and are looking for another place/way to mount?!?

sorry for the confusion. i have speakers and an amp (aftermarket) that will be in the trunk. i want them to be able to play the same as the two behing the rear seat. (those are coaxial correct?) so in my wiring, do i intersept the signal in the rear speaker wires or do i hook them into the existing stock amp? or am i completely clueless in my methods? lol heres a picture to show what i am doing, most people wouldnt agree with doing this, but odviously i feel like i will use them enough to get my moneys worth of entertainment.

thanks

tap the signal from the rear speakers and lead those to your new amplifier and simply hook that up to your new speakers. Depending on the amplifier, you may need a Line-out-converter to tone down the signal.

The rear speakers are not full-range at the speaker (post-amp). They are about 100hz to about 3000hz. If you want the tweeters on those things to work, you will need to use the post-amp front signal or the pre-amp rear signal.
