Unfortunately there is not. However some amps let you hook up ''high level'' inputs as well as ''low level''. Meaning; you run speaker wires from head unit to amp rather than just RCA's to the amp. By doing this you can install your amp close to the speakers and save some of the routing.

Agreed, there are dedicated channels for the front and rear speakers
you want to take advantage of that for Dolby at minimum
I believe taking them into the 'high' inputs on the amp will
actually allow you to boost their wattage too.
Not many people do this because todays decks push
more than enough for stock or off the shelf 4"-6"x9"

Back to my question, yes its possible i just did it. I installed a 5 channel amp and instead of routing the amps speaker output wires to each speaker, i routed the speaker wires to the head unit's speaker output wires and it saved me a lot of time and effort.
