The balanced 5V seems like it would need a special wire harness or something to maintain that +/- charge separation.

Thanks in advance for the help!
Just realized I may have misunderstood your question. If you were asking how do you take 4 channels of audio and run it into an amplifier with only 2 channels of input then the answer is a bit different.

Typically you'll find that subwoofers are driven off of a front and a rear channel - so I would take the FL and the RR RCA's and run it to one amp, and the FR and RL RCA's and run them to the other amp. This way you are splitting the load between both subs regardless of fader setting.

If this still didn't answer your question then I need you to ask if differently
