Alpine CDE-9845 CD receiver with MP3 / WMA playback at Crutchfield.com

This is the deck in my dad's truck.. The front speakers are alpine type S and the back ones are shittt... Is the best way to wire this to split a set of RCA's?

An L.O.C would be your best option, Amazon.com: Stinger SGN11 Fixed Line Output Converter: Electronics

Think of it like this: It converts speaker wires into an RCA.

I like these:

Amazon.com: PAC AOEMGM24 Add An Amp Interface, For Select GM Vehicles: Automotive

Adds RCA's to your stock radio harness and keeps the speaker wires intact also! Even has a wire for remote on/off.

Use the rear outputs. If his rear speakers **** anyway, what's he going to miss?

I'm not getting it, are the other outputs already in use? Use the rear outputs for the subs.

All outputs are being used 2 by the front speakers and 2 by the back speakers would it be better to kill the stock back speakers and just have a sub there or to split that and then run that rca to my amp for the sub?

If his rear speakers **** anyway, what purpose are they serving? Just use the cd player's rear outputs for the sub. Problem solved...
