well do you have one, or do you need to purchase one.

wiring them in isn't that hard, just a matter of finding the right speaker wire

Since you just want the rears to work with an amp, this is what you can do:

1.) Splice the rear speaker wires at the back of the radio and connect the RCA conveter input to the speaker wires coming from the radio.

2.) Run an RCA cable to your amp.

3.) Run speaker wires from your amp back to your radio.

4.) Connect the speaker wires to the speaker wires which you cut going to the rear speakers.

5.) Double check your connection.

6.) Enjoy.

i think you're trying to hook up a high low converter to a factory radio. and also hook up a 4 channel amp? (thats what it sounds like) if so... here.....

speaker wire colors are

RF +/- = green/ blue
LF +/- = pink/ purple
RR +/- = red/ white
LR +/- = black/ yellow

so if you are trying to hook up a 4 channel amp with high low converter to a OEM radio...

for the 07... when youre doing that speaker its a brown wire now. so its paired up with a brown and yellow instead of the normal yellow black. thats the difference on the 07.

anywho.....
when you get the speaker wires around that are yellow and brown which are pinned next to each other you can take a 9 volt battery and tap one wire on the positive and the other wire on the negative you will hear a popping sound if its the speaker wires.

and i hope by now you figured it out
