Are you talking about hooking up two front speaker amps or a front amp and a sub amp?

Unless you have two seperate preouts, you can't directly run two amps like that off one preout.

You'll need to buy an external crossover of some kind to split the signals into the respective frequency ranges, then send them to the amplifiers.

whats a good company than

I assume you have a passive front stage?

I would get a 2 way Xover and use a 4 channel amp if you want to run both the fronts and rears...

I can only think of a few outboard Xover manufacturers off the top of my head right now, but I would look into Audiocontrol's offerings //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i alreaty bought a 2 channel amp.

what does a passive front stage mean?

 

[jgarcia9102 10+ year member]

Passive means that they are not electronically crossed over. as in, using crossovers that are pre set, rather than being adjustable.

Yes he can if he incorporates Y-splitters into the signal path or if there are preamp outputs in one of his amplifiers....

You'll need to buy an external crossover of some kind to split the signals into the respective frequency ranges, then send them to the amplifiers.

Or if there are crossovers in the amps themselves he could use those? I know, I know - this isn't the optimal way to go about this but it is possible and potentially cheaper to do.

What kind of amp do you allready have ? Some have pass through RCA's that will acomplish what you want to do. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
