That sounds like I wouldn't need the PAC SNI-15 that you mentioned, to run my powered sub.

Thanks for the reply Quentin. That leads me to another question. What are the outputs on modern amps used for?

Hey there everyone, like Zach I am also new here. Greetings all! I have a question or two and this seemed like a good place to seek answers. And please forgive me if my terminology is a little off, I am putting together my first system since the mid-Nineties so its been awhile. ATM I have put together a pretty decent budget system consisting of all entry level gear. Sony Xplōd™ XS-GTX1622S Fronts Polk Audio db651 Rear Sound Ordnance™ B-8P With the DEH-3300UB - Pioneer Electronics powering it all. I have recently decided to get an external 4-channel amp to power the fronts and rears. However I remember most amps being set--up differently when I was in the game years ago. i;e speaker level inputs. My head unit only has 1 set of pre-amps which I am currently using for the powered sub. As I've been looking around I see that what I am looking for(want) does not have any speaker level inputs but they do have RCA outputs. The question is can I run my pre-amps to a new 4-channel amp, and the run those outputs to my powered sub and get the desired outcome?
