RCA wiring options

[enzowho 10+ year member]

Alright guys, this seems like an easy question but I don't know the answer, so could somebody help me out.

I am going to be adding a second component amp this summer to run some upfront midbass drivers and my components. My HU (Eclipse 8445) has front, rear and sub RCA outputs. Additionally, my new amp (US Amps XT1600.4) has a preamp output. How should I run my RCA's?

Option 1: Use an RCA splitter to divide the "front" signal from my HU

Option 2: Amp's preamp out directly back to the amp's input

Option 3: Something else...

Thanks for the help!

It looks as though you don't have rear speakers and that the rear outputs of your deck are available for use as well. You can use the rear outputs or you can use the pass-through from he midbass amp to go to the mid/high amp.

Yeah I have rear speakers, I was just too embarrassed to mention what they were Thanks for the input, anybody else?
