You can get one of these, they have speaker level inputs.
Amplifiers at Crutchfield.com
Or you can buy a high to low level converter.
Compare Prices on Scosche Slc4 Speaker High Level Converter
Just a few examples.
Either way you go you are going to have to splice into the factory harness.

Well it's been a while but I will give it a shot.
If you went with the converter you could run any amplifier you wanted, ie. you would have a greater selection. But you could also have a chance to introduce noise into the signal, but since a PSD doesn't have an ignition, and the better construction of electronics it would probably not happen. You also only have to run one cable to the amp.
If I were going to do it, I would use the converter, run a set of RCA cables to the amp and then run a set of speaker wires back to the factory harness. That would be the easiest way for me to do it.
