Default Help!

Decided to add lids and an amp to my current setup and I'm struggling! I have a PN4.520D running 4 Kappas in the fairing. This amp is connected to the head unit via hi level inputs. I assumed I could run a 2 channel amp off of the head unit RCA outs but I'm not getting any sound out of the rear speakers. I disconnected the front amp and the rear worked, but I can't get both amps to work at the same time. Is it possible to run 1 amp hi level and a 2nd off RCAs? Head unit is a Pioneer DEH-X2900UI...I hate it but not enough to buy a new one. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Get some RCA's and go low level with both amps. You're gonna have to split the signal.
