Three y-splitters.

If the subs all have an 'in' and 'out' jack you can daisy chain them.

Thank you very much

can I use a 4-OUTPUT RCA AUDIO VIDEO DISTRIB AMP - It kinda looks like a splitter box , will it help to prevent signal loss ?

[DYohn]

You could use something like that, but they are usually noisy (especially if they are inexpensive) and degrade the signal due to adding noise. Try simply Y-splitters or daisy-chaining first.

The subwoofer does not have an output , so I cant daisy chain them... the only option is use y splitters

I've had good luck with a y splitter and short cable runs My longer cable failed to get enough signal to operate properly. If you want to run 4 subs, one in each corner of the room, that may or may not work with splitters. Give it try and tell us your results.

Guys

Thanks to tech support from EMOTIVA. I used

GLS Audio 6ft Patch Cable Cords - XLR Male To XLR Female Black Cables -
GLS Audio 8" Y-Cable Splitter Pro Series
GLS Audio 6 Inch Patch Y Cable Cords - XLR Female To Dual RCA Male Cables

Hooked all the 4 subs. It keeps the signal clean and no noise.

Good old Y-splitters do the trick every time.
