so you'd need to have one four channel amp power your front 4, and the second to power your back four then?

just use a RCA Splitter Female to 2x Male, so it would make it two for your left, two for your right, giving you the ability to make two left and two right RCAs so you can use a four channel amp

or are you wiring it differently?

well, the one problem is that you have one three sets of rca cables, sub/front/rear

if you went from one amp to another, it wouldn't give you the actual rear sound (i believe)

huh ? i though the front/rear/sub controll was only for controlling sub vol. and using balance ? i dont use balance anyway

when an amp have rca out, do u think its bounded to both rca inputs or just 1 of em ? cause if it only uses 1 of em i can choose myself wich input i use anyway, but then again, 1 amp will be running both front+rear channels and next one will run 1 or both, depending on if the rca outputs is linked to 1 or both inputs, but does that rly matther anyway ?

one thing i'm still trying to figure it out, i've only seem them used for going to a mono or 2 channel amp if the headunit didn't have 3 sets of RCAs

well then it woulndt be a splitter but just a cable ?

i got 3 rca's front/rear/sub

if i was getting another 2channel it would just be a normal cable going from amp2 -> amp3, but i got 2 outputs and 4 inputs and need it splittet

Why do you need 3 amps?

You should be fine with a good 4 channel amp with 4 channels that have proper component speakers.

So you're running 500 watts per 6x9?

It must be shitty equipment.
