Yes you would just need to purchase a line output converter and splice into your rear speaker channels (left and right). Every car has different color coding for wire so i cant tell you specifics but I've done this twice. I used the12volt.com the color coding //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

what does the line output converter do, decrease the current?

From what i understand, it just converts the high input signal present in the speakers into the low input signals required for a sub amp.
