I'm basically looking for the rca in cables that usually are on the back of a deck.
But I want to use my stock on, and am looking for the splitter ones that hook up to the speaker wires. then just hook up rca ins to that.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? And if you do, do you know where i can get those?

It's called a Line Out Converter, any audio shop will know what they are and have them in stock and tell you how to hook them up.

It's really easy, you just splice into your speaker wires, most people choose rear speakers but it doesn't really matter, and then plug your RCA cables into female RCA connector on the LOC.

It's the simplest thing in the world

Oh and what 15s/amp/box setup?

Yeah, I'm sure it'll take a min to install.
I'll probably just get it all done today sense I have nothing else to do.

8 wires to strip, and 4 crimps, if you're a complete first timer it still shouldn't take more than 45 mins

Or cut the ends off and RCA cable. If that sounds too ghetto, I can put it all in a little box so it looks like that pic ^. The box won't be clear, though.

Cost to you: RCA Cable, which you already have.

That's now how a line out converter works at all.

An amp is called an amp for a reason, because it amplifies an input signal. Most amps accept voltages up to 8V or so. Most RCA outputs carry a voltage of 2 or 4V which then goes into the amp. The reason for the LOC is that not all decks have RCA preouts. What the LOC does is take the already amplified (by the deck) signal and converts it to a low level signal useable to the amp. You can't just plug speaker level inputs directly into an amp (unless you have an amp that supports high level input, some do, but they don't use RCA cables)
