no, most amps have line level input. in other words, the wires that normally go from your deck to your speakers, would go from your deck, to your amp, and then speakers.
high-voltage pre-outs are the best for good quality sound though

Most nice amps will duplicate the signal and have a switch for 1 or 2 sets of RCA's. Just make sure you get an amp with this feature and you won't need 2 pairs. LIke i said, most amps have this feature

You are using 2 channels for fronts, and bridging two channels for a sub?
Get a line level converter with 2 channels. Radio Shack sells one for $9.99. Walmart has a 4 channel for $17.99 (which obviates this fix). Hook this up to the speaker out on the head unit.
Run rca from the converter to the amp channel 1/2. loop from rca passthru 1/2 out back into amp in 3/4.
Hokey as hell, you'll have no fade control, but you won't have to rely on the amp providing you a single/double combine input switch. IF you need fade, use the 4 channel line leveler. If the amp has phase, that might be really useful for this solution.
