They say in the specs for it that it's got Hi-volt input capability...I'm not certain if this means you CAN use speaker level inputs or not.  Usually, if an amp is capable of doing what I suggested, it will have either an additional set of connections that look like speaker wire screw terminals that are actually meant to be an input, or there will be a square shaped hole in the side of the amp with a connector in it meant for 4 wires (2 pairs of wires).  They also sometimes have just 2 or 4 spade connectors that you can see sticking out of a rectangular shape cutout in the side of the amp.  Some older amps did it that third way, and required soldering to make the terminations.

If you see ANY of the three input types I mentioned, then you just need to see if the amp is labeled that they ARE inputs. 

Now, if this isn't an option, you can get line-level converters, which take the wires for your rear speakers, and convert them to RCA...allowing you to connect to the rca input of the amp.  This is another option, if you wanna keep the stock deck.  If at all possible, try and use the route I mentioned...splice into the speaker wires for the rear speakers, and run the 2nd pair of wires to the back of the car, and go to the local stereo shop and get a 4-wire adapter that will let you plug the wires into the amp.

Hope you understand what I mean...
