RCA Help......??

My deck sucks and only has one set of preouts, and i havea 4channel mtx amp and a 2 channel kicker amp, now what i want to do is get a cord that comes out of my only preout in the deck to the 4 channel that has two sets of rcas on it, anyone know where i can get one? and then i would run the kicker off the output from teh 4 channel

Another idea as well.

I have a clarion 3 way crossover, one of the features it has is, it can take either 1, 2, or 3 inputs and put out three outputs.

So, from your deck, the one RCA cable goes into the front chan of the crossover, then out of the crossover you would have RCAs going to the front and rear of the 4 chan amp, then a final set going to the 2 chan amp.

Otherwise, the splitter idea would also work, though keep in mind the voltage does get divided in this situation, it might affect the quality or loudness of the output.

Hope this also helps.

I think 1 female / 2 male would be what you would need.
