i thought i answered this one already... hmmmm
as mentioned above, the sub out on the HU may be full range if the HU's crossover is defeated. on some headunits that is not possible - the sub out is always low pass filtered.
the sub out on the HU also has discrete level control which is nice to retain.
i recommend keeping all speakers in the front on the front HU outs.
use a splitter.
you want to retain fader and balance at all times.
worse thing the splitter does is halve the voltage gain relationship of output impedance (of the HU) to input impedance (of the amps).
