Then the rear out will go RCA's to the sub amp, which has RCA outputs aswell, to the rear amp for the 6x9's I bought.

Im just wondering how good those are going to be coming off the computer with those headphone to RCA converters. Anything else I can look into? I definately dont want this to cause problems with quality.

sound is subjective.

running in this manner, I wouldn't personally waste my time.

However, your ears may not be as sensitive as mine, or they may be even more sensitive if you've trained them as such.

don't expect absolute excelent sound going this route. There's simply not enough voltage out of these cards to provide an amplifier with a high enough noise floor to prevent induced noise.
