Two Four channel Amps - HU has 3 Preouts

How would I send RCA cables to both amps?
One amp is for the highs. The second amp would be bridged for the subs.
Im a little confused as to how I can send signal cables to both amps.

Thanks

Use the sub output to the sub amp and use Y-splitters if needed... some amplifiers don't need both sets of inputs when the amp is bridged (check the user manual)

^ what he said. some amps have switches you can flip so you don't need an rca cable connected to every input.

if you get Y adapters, get the single female, dual male versions.

then you just have the one sub RCA pair at the sub amp, then use two of those splitters to get four total RCA's.
