ive done a search and came up with nothing.

ive got 2 subs in my car, and at the moment ive got 2 amps, 1 for each sub. my question is how do i wire the rca's from my stereo to the amps, because theres only enough plugs at the back of the stereo for one cable.(1amp)

Hopefully your amps have line out, so you run the line from your stereo in to 1 and and then the line out of that amp to the line in of the other amp. Failing that you can get a double adapter style thing, it accepts 1 rca in and splits it to 2 rca outs. If you do it with the splitter make sure you run a left and a right channel to both amps, not 2 rights to 1 amp and 2 lefts to the other as the subs will not work togeather then.

yeh RCA Splitters are the go mate.. less than $10 from anywhere

simply splits the two existing rca's into 4 (two rights and two lefts) i wouldn't recommend doing this more than once though as interference will start playing a part (although if you needed to i'd say its time for either a new head unit with more outputs or a bigger amp that can run more of your components)

hope this helps
