just get the converter. its $22 from best buy... unless your preamp has high-level inputs (speaker wire) that's the way to go. you just tap the speaker connections coming out of the deck, and the box has a set of RCAs that you can plug into. then you run the RCAs back to the amp

Amplifiers need a low level input.
You could wire the high output wires to RCA's no problem.
But you will just burn up the amp by putting to much input voltage into it.
Get a low level converter as mentioned.
