no.
you run one set of RCA lines from the sub output of the head unit.
then, you see if teh amps have pass-through RCA output jacks.
if so, you use a short set of RCA cables to daisy-chain one amp to the other.
If the amps do not offer this feature, use Y-splitters to divide the signal between both amps.
www.knukonceptz.com has the Y-splitters for a couple bucks.

dont u lose some power though using y splitter. ive heard that u dont get as much current running through the wires as u would without using a y splitter. |
