I'm not understanding. RCA's aren't labelled as + and -. They are Left and right. A single RCA connection has the + and - built into the connection point (the centre is + and the exterior is -).

Are you assuming that the colours red and black mean positive and negative? That is typcially the case in car audio, but for the RCA connections red is "right" and black/white is "left." It sounds like you have found everything you need. Now you just need to plug and play with the amp.

Your CD player has RCAs for Front L/R and Rear L/R. The rear can act either as rear speakers or a sub output - not both at the same time. So you will have to choose what you will do with the rear. Will the rear feed the 4 channel amp for your back speakers? If so, then you can also create a patch for it to go to your sub amp from their. But you will not be able to control the sub amp independantly of the rears.
Another option is to run the rears off the same RCAs as the front. Then you will have independant sub control on the rear.

Is this the direction your question was going?
It sounds like you understand the power, ground and remote wires. Where have you connected your remote wires for the amps?
