Factory radio to aftermarket amp ?
What I want to do is hook up a 98 Delco CD tuner to an aftermarket 4 channel amp.Is the best way to do this is getting hi-to-low input adapters to come from the factory leads and convert them to RCA outs?Any suggestions?I plann on running the output leads to the speakers on one side of the car (maybe driver side).

Many would have recommended you do a search.. You would have found a post by me on a similar topic.. From what I've learned you will want to use the High to Low level converters. It can help eliminate line noise.. then run the rca cables to the amp.
So either use two converters for front and rear, or you could do what I've decided to do.. Use the factory deck to power the front speakers.. Get an amp to power the rear speakers and the sub(s).

whatever set of speakers you do not run off of the deck you can take the factory speaker wires and run leads and use them as your high input frequencies on your amp, assuming that it has them, and that will be your signal, you do not need to do rca converters, unless you do not have high level inputs
