I have 3 Sub Amps but only one RCA Sub output. I have a Kicker crossover but it only provides for one sub output. I tried using RCA splitters (2 in 4 out) but it just looks dodgy. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks. Also, none of my amps have outputs on them.

You can always make and RCA splitter box with kit materials from Radio Shack or Parts Express. Buy 4 pairs, (8 loose) of RCA female jacks, a work box and some shielded RCA cable. The tough part is soldering all wires in parallel for a nice, neat package. Here's a suggested parts list:
1. Work Box

2. RCA jacks

3. Solder (60/40 alloy, rosin core flux, 0.05" dia or smaller)
4. 2-3 feet of scavanged RCA cable for wiring all jacks
Think ya can do this on your own? COFFEE

PS If you have any Electronic Tech friends, am sure they can make one up for you in an hour or so. If not, but you wish to go this route, I can make one for you. (Parts + Labor & S/H) I have all the tools needed, but would have to order the hardware. Figure 5 days turn around time.

Sounds like a challenge but I love the advice. I prefer to customize my own ride so this will be fun. I will give it a go and if it doesnt work out, I will definately take you up on your offer. Thank you for your help.

Sure, try it on your own and see how it comes out. (Not that difficult w/ the proper tools and a delicate touch on fine wires and soldering)
If it does not turn out to your satisfaction, pass it along and I'll try to make it workout.

My labor rate is $20.00 per hour
My labor rate is $25.00 per hour if customer watches
My labor rate is $35.00 per hour if someone got there first and messed it up
Just kidding, but only barely... take your time and get the right parts. This work box has 4 sides, a top and bottom. Think through your RCA locations before drilling holes for the jacks!
Good luck,

Vic,
You add a strange side/twist to this equation! (Knucklehead)
I don't let/want others watch/watching as that side is very private and deep. At my age, it's all about quality SQ and minimally about SPL. The end results are beyond compare!
You can figure out the rest on your own... but in some things, the best is left to the imagination... the most potent part of our minds and the potential it brings to the end results.
Like a fine aged wine and/or whiskey, there comes a time when things get better with age. SMILE In 20 years, you'll know exactly what I mean. Hehe... GRIN

PS Now try to stay focused and on topic OK? LOL
