Default Cessna 2 Place Intercom

There is a Cessna C172M where I rent aircraft. It only has a 2 place intercom, which sucks when I take up more than 1 passenger as there are no headset plugs in the back. I'm looking for some suggestions on how I can communicate with them or at least they can listen to what the pilot and copilot are saying in the front.

Quarter Inch male to two quarter inch females.
Can I use this splitter cable, so at least one passenger in the back can at least listen to audio? or use two splitter cables, so both passengers in the back can listen to at least the audio? Will using these splitter cables cause any load issues? any short circuit? or lower the quality for pilot or copilot?

Any other solutions where the passengers in the back can even talk to the pilot and copilot in the front? Thank you

A Splitter for the right seat pax headphone jack should work. Remember that splitting the headphone audio will have an effect on the gain (reduced volume for all the listeners). Regarding the intercom microphone jack, I would not recommend adding any additional splitters, 3-way adapters, etc. You would be risking Comm problems with ATC. My last recommendation is, don’t try to be an Avionics Tech. Seek the assistance of a qualified A&P before contemplating any “mods”.
