You can just get the RCA to speaker wires adapter, I don't see them much at local store but I suggest ordering online it's cheaper etc. below is an example of what it is. There a few people who uses this but if you want more kick out of it I suggest going aftermarket HU as well as amp and sub.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing. I just need the RCAs since I'm retaining the factory speakers with my new install.

My idea was to just buy this 6 foot RCA cable and cut it in two. I think it would be much easier to solder onto wires as opposed to connectors and after shipping, the cable from Sonic is a bit more cost effective.
