Stock radio does NOT have RCA's but you can buy a convertor to adapt to RCA jacks. Cheap and easy.

You could also buy a line level adapter to hook the sub/amp into the rear speakers.

A line level converter basically taps into the audio from your rear speakers and converts it to work with your amp. This way, you don't have to hook up the amp to your head unit, rather your rear speakers.

Here's one I found on Crutchfield after a quick search:
Scosche SLC4 Four-channel line output converter at Crutchfield.com

I'm sure you could find others as well!

just to give you heads up i see that you on a budget so this is the best bang for the buck but you will lose sound quality over a true rca feed system (not a bad setup, just not the best for quality sound)
