Wiring My Sub/Amp

OK im kinda lost. im trying to tap my rear deck speakers as a high level input for my amp.

1) which wires that are connected to the bose amp do i tap off of? the Rear speaker Inputs? whats the color of the wires?
2) my line level converter only has 2 cables, one for the Right channel and one for the Left channel, so how do I connect them to the positive and negative cables for each speaker input wire? wouldnt that require 4 cables for my converter?

ok i found out you just use one speaker's + and - cables through the line output converter and it becomes the L and R signal in the RCA cable.

if anyone knows how to find out which color wire runs to where, it would still be very helpful if you could post the info.

I believe when you look at it (sub) from under you will see it. Or if you look at the prongs on the speaker you can see one is bigger than the other. The bigger is +, smaller is -. It should be fairly easy install.

I just think it's funny to add two trunk rattling 10s to a 1500 stereo in a luxury car. I get all the bass I need out of an 8 inch infiniti sub and 200 watts.

true but i have only 1 10" sub and my rear deck speakers are blown so theres no low-mid notes whatsoever. plus, all sounds coming from the speakers are accompanied by a "Friendly" rattling.
