Goldeyes,

Typically, decks with 2 sets of preouts are front/rear like you said your's is.  Most of the time people use the rears for the subs, but the fronts will work just as well.  If you're not planning on adding a 4 channel amp or upgrading your deck in the near future, simply use some y-adapters as Sweekster recommended to combine the front/rears.  In theory, this would create a non-fading output to your sub amp, so when you fade front to rear for your main speakers, you don't get the annoying fade from the sub as well.  Let us know if this works, or what you do, I'd like to know.

What you'll probably need for the amp is a y connector (splitter) for the RCAs. But instead of splitting the RCA signal you'll do just do it in reverse. So you run the RCAs (right and left for both) from the radio to the y adapter. That will turn 4 signal in to 2. And then plug the Y adapter into your amp. Here's an example of what one looks like

Hope that helps
 
Don't do that, all it will accomplish is generating a signal that is unusable not combining them. Like everyone else has said, just run one set.

One more question for you guys, will there be any problems with electronic interference if I mount the amp on the back of the sub box? I'm driving a golf, and space is kinda at a premium, so i need to save every little bit that i can.
