Pre-Out Question

Hey guys,

I've decided that it's time to power my speakers with something other than the deck. I've found a 4-channel amp to do for now, an older Pheonix Gold Series. It'll do the job, but it only has 2 RCA connections, one for front and one for rear. The problem is, my JVC has the same. One set for front, and one set for rear, leaving none for the sub amp, which I've been running off the rear pre-outs. My question is, is there anyway to run that 4-channel without loosing my sub amp? I know some amps have the additional set of RCA connections that solves this problem, but unfortunatly neiher this amp or my sub amp has that feature. Thanks in advance for your help, I appreciate it,

Hodder

RCA splitters/Y-adapters are probably your cheapest/easiest option.
