Would one sub out (rca) have enough signal strength to run 4 subwoofers?

    Each split should be a -3dB drop in signal strength. If you have a hot signal to begin with or enough gain on your sub amps to make up the difference, it could work. If you run out of adjustment on your sub channel on your receiver, you could always drop the gains on the other HT channels to gain back some level of control. If this doesn't work, then you will have to find a preamp/splitter to bring the levels back up.

    Try it and find out.....
