No reason not to use Y-cables if you need to send the same signal to two inputs. There is some signal loss so be sure you set your gains after you install the y-cable, and some possible noise introduction so be sure to use cables with good quality RCA connectors and good shields.

I don't know what you mean by "specially since i'm supposed to send rca's to every channel on my four channel" ? It depends on your setup. Are you using all four channels of your amp? How? How many line level outputs does your HU have? How many outputs does your crossover have?
