The RCA cables coming out of the head unit on wires are your front pre-out. The two RCA connectors which are part of the back of the unit are your rear pre-out/subwoofer.
If you are using all 4 outputs, you will need to have an amp which has a sub out or a sub by-pass (or, you will need to splice or split the RCA feed).
