Default Running Subs and Front Speakers off a 4 channel amp with an external low pass x-over

Hey guys,

I've got my subs hooked up on two channels-my amp didn't have a low pass so I have my rca's running from the hu to an electronic low pass x-over, then to my amp so only the low frequencies come out of the subs. I want to run my front speakers off the other two channels of the amp, but I want to run my highs through them. I've searched and messed around with the wiring, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Any suggestions, or would I just be better off getting another amp to power my front speakers? I'm sure the answer is obvious, but I'm new to this so thanks in advance.

B~

If there is only one set of RCA outputs on the HU install a set of RCA "Y" adpt. on the RCAs before the x-over, then one "Y" to the x-over then out of the x-over to two inputs on the amp and the other "Y" to the other two inputs on the amp. Another way would be to replace the x-over with a 2way hi/low pass, a better way to do it.

What kind of HU is it? are you sure there is only one set of RCA outputs 94
