Help connecting subwoofer to a new head unit!

Im a beginner at this so bear with me!

Just upgraded my headunit to a JVC KW-R910BT and everything went fine, except for the sub installation. The old head unit had 3 sets of the RCA's, front/back/and SW. The new headunit only has 2. So after connecting the weird subwoofer wire, Im not sure how to explain it but im sure you know what im talking about. It's like a 1/4 connection for subs. Im left with the remaining rca's for the sub and no where to put them, so no signal to the sub. Tried searching around but as you can tell I can't really word this problem the way I want to.

What do I need to do to get my sub connected with just the weird 1/4 input and no rca input? Is it a different cable I need to buy? a rca to 1/4 adapter?

Any help is appreciated, the new HU is bitchen and added tons of bass to my front speakers, so we can definitely live without the sub for now.

Thanks! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
Sounds like your headunit has 2 pairs of pre-outs 1 for front one for rear/sub you could try two things either put two y connectors inline with front out puts or get a line Out converter and put it in the rear speaker outputs for the headunit. Then plug the sub amp into the rear output on the headunit and use the line out converter for your rear speakers
