Default extra speakers

I have a stock 06 convertible and wish to add a pair of Polk audio speakers I have in enclosures. I want to place them in the trunk for when I am at a party, volleyball game etc and can open my trunk and let the sound out. Is there an easy way to connect them to the radio? Can I daisy chain them from the rear convertible speakers?

thaks

I would post this question in the Audio forum (under Corvette General, not C6 specific) ... you would probably get a faster (and perhaps better) answer.

Why dont you just get a boom box instead of jig rigging speakers that probabilly wont sound so good and drawing your battery of needed voltage.

I totally agree, the rear speakers are a weak mono feed on the upgraded
radio, [bose] , the lowered impedance would fry your amp, and your stock battery would last about 45 min. Do the boom box thing............
