The reason its done this, is because you are splitting the output preout voltage from the head unit - so if ya have 4v preout, each amp is getting 2v 
There are things called line drivers (think thats them) that will boost the splitted voltage although, have you got outputs on the amps at all? If one of the amps had a pass-through or an output you can daisy chain the output from one amp to the input of the other...this would give you a best signal than splitting a preout

Indeed, to some it up you have five options:
1.Buy a line driver.
2.Use the pass through output (if your amp has it)
3.Buy a new headunit with more preouts.
4.Get an amp that runs both subs.
5.Live with it

i take it your amps dont have outputs on them??
As for wiring it up, how have you go it?
From the sounds of it you have the back preout going to one amp (to power sub) then you have your front preout going to another amp (to power sub) then from this amp its daisy chained to another amp to power the front. Is this correct??
As you can tell im confussed lol

I find it quite funny that Austin edited his post, yet didnt change it to say he has FIVE options, instead of four
