is that an factory amplified stereo like the old bose car audio systems?
if not u can buy a line level converter.it wires into the harness behind the headunit on the speaker leads,and converts the hi level signal into a low level signal so u can use standard rca's to hook the amp up.withthat said if ur amp has high level inputs along with low level(rca jacks) u can wire the amp directly into the speaker leads going to ur rear speakers.and if its a factory amplified stereo ill need more information from u to help u get it hooked up

alright gimmie a day or to to look into it more but more then likley the inputs to the amp are low level lines,which makes it easy cause u can tap directly into that to run the sub amp.dont quote me on that though.were is the amp in the 4thgen cars?
ill see what i can lookup over the weekend,worst comes to worst ill give my buddie a call that owns a car audio place a call if i have to see exactly how its wired fromt he factory

basically an adapter by the company PAC will allow you to hook up an amp for a sub. the adapter is called an OEM-1. its really straightforward and is imo the easiest way to go about it

If u want to use Monsoon amp, I suggest looking for the newer ones (i think 00-02) cuz the old style monsoon system is only 250watts IIRC, and the newer model is 500watts. Figured id toss that is, cuz it may be pointless to wire up some subs to a 250w monsoon amp.
