Another follow up question. I finished installing the speakers and amp, and everything works/looks great, problem is, due to idiot (Circuit City) installation of my original sub (stupid), my sub RCA's no longer carry a signal. I'm pretty sure this is because they spliced my $50 RCA cable into some part of my stock wiring harness. My HU has a sub output, but it is only 1 RCA jack. I know this will be an easy answer, but do I just plug in 1 RCA, or do I use a Y connector?
Thanks again
George

Are you sure they didn't install a loc in the trunk off of the rear speakers?
And If you want to run multiple amps off of a H/U with only 1 set of RCAs, you have 2 options... The cheaper/ easier way is to run a Y connector, but the better sounding way is to run the RCAs through a crossover.

I traced the RCA cable all the way up, and it ends in the middle of my front pax threshold, where it's soldered to 2 wires in the big harness down there. Regarding the HU, I do have multiple RCA's, 1 pair for the front, 1 pair for the rear, but only a single plug for the subwoofer.
