Default Adding an amp and subs to a 05 RAM 3500

I am wanting to add an amp and 2 subs to my factory infinity system without changing the head unit. I have a line converter to change to RCA cables to go to my amp. I was wondering where I should be splicing into the wiring to connect this converter box... Please help it would be greatly appreciated. Ive tried a couple places but it hasn't worked out....

I had an '02 with the infinity system. I used the rear speaker leads to connect to the converter. I used one of the shorsche (sp)$35 ones from a stereo shop vs. the $19 one from walmart. It had adjustable levels and LED's for over driven. I put the volume on the radio at 3/4 and then adjusted the level til the lights just light up and then backed it off until they went out. 1/2 volume was plenty loud enough for me. In this case I def have seen that you get what you pay for. I tried to tap off of the back of the radio head but it didnt work.

Well I have the converter already, I just need to find out where to tap into the rear speakers(between deck and factory amp or after amp) and what color of wires.
