Thursday, August 31, 2006 - 14:33 GMT Most amps will have a pass thru port for that. If yours doesn't, then get a RCA splitter.

Thursday, August 31, 2006 - 15:33 GMT when you split the cable do you loose some power from your preout voltage?

Thursday, August 31, 2006 - 15:58 GMT You always lose some signal when you split, but nothing that will make any impact.

Thursday, August 31, 2006 - 16:00 GMT A Y connector sends the same signal received at the input to both of the outputs. It doesn't split the signal and send half to each output.

Thursday, August 31, 2006 - 16:01 GMT Yeah, what Isaac said. After being 'split' about 4 times, then you'll start to notice signal degradation.

Thursday, August 31, 2006 - 16:09 GMT the reason i asked is cause i did that once with my 2 jl 1000/1. when i split it with the y adaptor, it seemed i had to turn the gain more to match the target voltage. just a little bit more than when i had a single amp setup.
