But even the sub will use a pair of rcas, then they're simply summed together inside the amp. Only feeding it one rca would make the signal half as strong and the gain would need to be twice as high. Unless he split the sub rca when it got to the amp, but that would be a waste of time and money to get a 3ch rca, plug it into the L and R front rca outputs, plug the 3rd into one of the sub outputs, and then split the sub rca when it gets to the amp. It would look ugly, cost more, and sound worse than simply using a 4ch rca.

I still don't see what you want a 3rd rca for
