Yes, that´s it. It converts "speaker level" signal to "line level" which you can then connect to the regular RCA connectors on an amp.

You need left and right obviously, but it does not matter if you take it from the rear speaker connections or the front.

No real problems. If there was a line out on the head unit it would have been better to use that from a sound quality point of view, but there isn´t.
