Get a line driver, then use spliters. I don't know anything about those amps they might have a line out on them for you to add extra amps. if it does then you just run the rca sub out to one amp. Then come out of the line out to the next amp then line out to the last amp.

after looking at the manual for the amp i think your only choice would be to get line drivers or EQ's to split your RCA's into three channels without using y's as to keep the voltage up.

Get one with 3 line outs so all the amps get the same signal.  That one you referred to has 2.
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

you would be better off selling those amps and using 1 larger amp to power the 3 subs use a big class d mono block.

bahhhh, the 3 amps will be less efficient, but will probably sound a tad better.
