you'll need a line converter to converter speaker wire to RCA outs. (radio shack should have one.)  If you plan to run a big amp off it, then you should get a new HU with rca pre-outs.  The voltage won't be very high on the converter.

you can do what sykikchimp suggested and get a converter or get an Alpine, Mtx or Fosgate amplifier with speaker level inputs so you won't need an rca connection, but this is only if you have the stock deck. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

You should definitely get a new head unit.  Then the amp and speakers won't suck as much as if you hooked them up to speaker level inputs!!  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
