Yes, because of the type of amp you have, and that you wanna use the stock deck, you will HAVE TO use a converter like that.
You will need to pull the deck out of the dash, and find out which wires go to your rear door speakers. Once you've done this, you are going to need 2 runs of speaker wire (just small like 18 guage) going from behind the deck, to the rear of your car. Now all you need to do is determine what way you wanna do the splices of the wires. You can either: A: just strip some of the jacket off the stock wires, and braid the new speaker wires around them, and solder them together or B: Cut the stock wires, take some of the jacket off BOTH ends of the stock wire you just cut, and braid both of them back together with the new wires, and then put a B-type connector on them, and then use heat shrink tubing.
Either of those splices will work, and when you are done that, just splice your newly run speaker wires to the speaker wires on the converter. Then just run short RCA cables from the converter to the amp. You COULD just do short speaker wire joints under the dash, and shove them and the converter into the dash, and use a long RCA to run to the back, instead of the speaker wires, but I would do the speaker wire method, so that way you can have the converter near the amp if you need to fine tune the volume output going to the amp.
Hope this info isn't too tricky to understand...
