To hook up to the monsoon system, you have to have a converter that converts high level (speaker wire) signals to low level (RCA cable) signals i beleive.

Well, what problems with the RCA's are you having? Are you having trouble with turning the stock head unit speaker-level outputs to RCA's? Simply pick one of these up:

this will turn your speaker wire into RCA's and run these to the amp, and you're good to go!
