If i am trying to daisy chain my mono amp to a 4 channel amp, but my 4 ch has inputs for the front and rear, but only one pair of rca's running too it from my sub amp, how can i get a signal to both front and rear?

Normally you would use two sets or RCA cables, one from the Front pre-out of the HU and one from the Rear pre-out from the HU to supply a signal to the 4-channel amp.  If the HU has a separate Sub pre-out, a third set of RCAs is used for that.  If not, assuming the 4-channel amp has a pre-out, daisy chain the sub amp from there.  If you are sending a single full-range signal to your sub amp, there is no good way to daisy-chain a 4-channel amp from that - unless you don't care about front-rear fade?  Then use a y-cable.

If you only have one set of RCA jacks on the back of the radio, you must (as DYohn said earlier) get a set of Y adaptors from your local stero shop.  Tell them you need 2 Y adaptors with 1 female and 2 males on each adaptor.  When you connect them, connect one to the left RCA that comes from your bass amp and then connect the male ends to the left front and left rear inputs of your amplifier.  Then connect the other Y to the right RCA coming from the amp, then connect the male ends to the right front and right rear inputs of the amp.

From crossover settings to getting all 5 or 6 channels of amplification to work with only one set of RCA cables, to neon and alternators.   Anybody got anything else?

I was thinking about seeing "Dark Knight" this weekend.  I hear it's pretty good.

Hey if somebody has a stiffening cap laying around and wants to stop their headlights from dimming, I have a plan that should work.  I do not want you to go and buy a cap but if you have one and want to try this, let me know how it works.  A (.)5 farad cap should be plenty.  If you use a 1 farad you may need 4 diodes to handle the charge current.  You will be charging the cap everytime you turn on the lights.  The diodes are necessary, they prevent the current from supplying the amplifier.  For testing purposes you could simply connect the diodes, the cap and a headlamp bulb to try it.  Let me know if it works.
