It takes 4 RCA's for front and rear channels.
Most 4 ch amps have preamp outputs to connect extra amplifiers and create extra channels.
With 5 channel amps, just flip a switch on the amp and you got 5 ch out of 4 channels, taking the bass from the rear channels.
What exactly are you trying to do?

Not really trying to do anything. I was just wondering really, Wondering if it would give you more voltage from the HU to the ampor do nothing at all? But I should have mentioned going to a mono block sub amp

It wouldn't work, it would be like taking the speaker wires from say a left and right output and trying to power one speaker. It would just short out because you're putting two outputs together. What you're trying to do, in a sense, is bridge the RCAs and it doesn't work that way.

Thats pretty much what I figured. But there is always that chance lol. I plan on buying a deck with sub ouput soon anyway. Thanks again guys.

You won't gain any output voltage. And you will lose the front-rear fade.
