Before I start ripping everything apart, I need a few things clearified.
I am about to install a Mono Bass Amp and 2 8" subs in the back door AKA "Bparker style" and am not sure on a couple of things.

Can I keep the factory amp to run the other speakers?

Is there an adapter that would allow me to do this or do I get the speaker out-put lines from the deck going to the amp and feed off them.

or

Do I take the existing sub lines going to the factory sub, add a line converter (lines to RCA's) and run that to my amp as inputs?

Thank you in advance.

The Monsoon amp likely has a crossover network built in, so your best bet will likely be the second option you listed. If you grab one of the speakers as signal and it happens to be crossed over, may not be any signal under 100 or even 120hz.
