Stock radio to after market low input amps?

I have an 88 Rx7 Gxl and it still has the stock radio with the tape deck and EQ..Dont laugh! i am not poor that i cant go get an after market stereo its just i hate to pull it out cause it gives the car an Unmessed with look Plus everthing on the stereo works!! .... Anyhow i have some amps and speakers for it...and i have a few amps with Low imput! but im guessing that that old stereo wont have RCA cable output! so What Could i do to Run stock stereo to aftermarket low imput amps?

Yes, you can convert those speaker wires into RCA jacks. Just go to Radio Shack or any other place that sells electronics, they'll have it. There are also amps that accept high output wire. My last Rockford Fosgate amp I bought about 1 yr ago had these and I just hooked them up to the stock speaker wires on a BMW

No, you have to buy a converter, not just splice wires into RCA. There is a special box for this which actually takes out the output and sends lower signals

Some amps are built to accept either speaker level or line level inputs... Check your amp. If your amp will only accept line level, then go and buy the $5 adapter.
