Ok... I will try and make this short, I have a habit of rambling.
first - if your going to run your OEM speakers from an aftermarket amp, you will need/want to gather your signal from front of the car, not the back. The reason is, as the high-level outputs leave the head unit, they pick up all kinds of noise through the car. you dont want to then turn that garbage into signal and then amplify it.
You can either run 2 Line Output Converters (LOC's) or you can get a processor like the Fosgate 360.2, JBL MS8, Audison BitOne... there are lots of them available, just go to crutchfield or the like and look up OEM integration.
If you run the LOC, you will have 2 RCA cables to run from the LOC to the amp in the trunk. much easier than running high-level speaker wires.
the JL amp your talking about is a 5-channel amp, so you can then run the fronts to your doors, the rears to your parcel shelf and the sub-out to your sub, using speaker wires.
I glossed over most of the technical detail to just get you some basic information... so while its not horribly complicated, its not quite as over-simplified as I make it seem in this single post.
It doesnt have to be complicated or expensive to sound nice... and there are a few of us here that have done this hundreds of times to our own cars, been competitors and professional installers, we're all willing to help walk you through it.
