In my old focus I was running just one 12 inch sub,and I hooked up the RCA wires to the back of the HU and then just ran it to the amp.Now my ? is,Im getting a new car and I plan on running three subs and three amps,how do I hook up the Rca to each amp.Do I run the RCA from the HU to one amp,and then just connect each amp toghter with the other RCA plug outlets?

yes, if you have one that has three outputs, that feed from one imput, there are some rca splitters out there, or if you are using a stock headunit, you could use three hi/low converters

Will I be able to use this one and just not use the one extra RCA plug?

What kinda amps are they. Many amps have rca in and out, if they do then you can daisy chain them all together.

They are phoenix gold 1600watt 4 channel pd-396,I would rather have the clean look though because the amps are going to be exposed

You can still use the ins and outs to have a clean look provided you know how to run wires properly.
