    1/8" jack to rca adapter, then run RCAs to ur amp like normal.

    On a side note. How the hell do you plug a headphone jack into an amp?

    Your amplifier probably needs a voltage trigger to signal it to turn on. Have you hooked that up?

    There's an enormous thread on how to hook up your computer to your car speakers in the FAQ Emporium. Click on the link in my signature to take you there.

    Again use the 1/8" stereo to RCA stereo cable. One side will be your center, and the other will be your Sub, I forget which is which at the time. And your amps may need to have a stereo input for R/L you could use a Y-adapter 1female to 2male

    usually when you split a center/sub channel the sub is the RED/Right channel

    I highly suggest having a mono class amp so you dont have to split the sub channel again.
