rca help

hey there, I am wanting to connect my ipod to my stereo and bought a rca to headphone cable. but My deck only has one set of rca jacks on the back and i need two so i can hook my amp and ipod up. so my question is, is there such thing as a rca doubler? maybe called a splitter?
any help appreciated.

slow down a second buddy. 1 set of rca,s on a deck is usually a sub output not an aux input but if it is an input you can,t hook it to an amp . you need to find out what those rca,s are for before you destroy your equipment .my bet is they,re subwoofer out puts or a single pair of stereo outputs .
