[QUOTE="Corey McMurry, post: 8666769, member: 676387"] [ATTACH]3980._xfImport[/ATTACH] ok I'm trying 2 find the best way 2 wire my 2 diferant amps and 2 different subs from my reciever I have a Kenwood Kdc-302 which has 3 RCA outs but one is Sub then Front and Rear, I assume the Sub-Out puts out differant audio because on rear-out I can turn my gain up but when I plug it to sub-out I have 2 turn it down or it rattles.
