Okay ive got a boss audio cd player B7300, kicker zx series 350wx4channel amp, 4 lanzar 12's, and a 8 farad boss audio capacitor. Okay now my problem is i have one set of RCAs is there a way to run all 4 channels with one pair or am i going to have to buy another set of RCAs?? The radio has dual RCA outputs and a sub output im not sure which to use or what im supposed to do. The last amp i had was 4 channels and I had 2 lanzar 12's bridged on it but my friend hooked that up for me and im tryin to do it this time on my own. So if anyone can help me like step by step id be very happy. thanks

okay another question my HU has a sub output and the manual doesnt say much about it. i was just wondering how to use that or if i should

If you do not want to buy/run another set of RCA's just connect your current RCA's to the sub output on the head unit then at the amp put RCA splitters (converts one RCA plug into two). That way you will have a signal going to all four channels on your amp. But like suggested above you really need a 2 or 1 channel amp for your subs.

This thread is full of sketch. Running 4 subs off of 350 watts total? Not to mention each on its own channel? ugh... just get a class d sub amp like aq said.

Depending on what the impedence of your subwoofers are you need to find out what impedence your amp puts out full power @. Bridge the amplifier from 4-channels to only-2 (Which here you will be able to run only the single set of RCS's that you have right now) Wire 2 of your subs to 1(Putting 2 of the positives from 2 subwoofers together and ditto for the negative wires.) channel and wire the other set of subs to the other cahnnel. (I am assuming that you are attempting to run the amp like a 4 channel and trying to hook all wires of the subwoofers individually to 4 positives and 4 negatives to individual screws on the amp!)) DO Not) Hope this helps?
