need help with wiring RCA cables

[brybry354 10+ year member]

i plan on wiring 2 10" subs to separate amps.

right now i have 2 subs to only 1 amp and just 1 RCA cable plugged into the amp.

my question is...do i need to connect another set of RCA cables from my deck into the new amp or can i just leave the 1 RCA cable into 1 of the amps??

im really hoping i dont have to connect more RCA cables because i have a bose system in my 05' chevy silverado and as you all know it is a PAIN IN THE A S S to mess with bose because the factory stereo doesnt have RCA inputs so i had to add a RCA input adapter and it only has 1 set of RCA inputs

You could probably get away with an rca y splitter.

what is that and how does it work?

Basically will just split your rca's. You could buy 1 female to 2 males and split it into your amps, or buy 2 females to 1 male and connect it into your line out converter.

You could also purchase a line output converter that has 2 sets of outputs instead I believe.

so if i buy two 1 female/2 males do i just plug one of them into my original RCA (red) and one into my RCA (white) and hook the 2 males of each Y splitter into each of my amps?
