How do you connect 2 Amps to your head unit without losing power

You can purchase a line driver from your local audio shop, or online at sonic electronix, eBay, Amazon, etc.

I was having the same issue when I got rid of my EQS (the AudioControl EQS has a built in line driver). So I bought an AudioControl Overdrive Line Driver. It was okay, but I just recently sold it. I'm not a huge fan of AudioControl, as their products don't seem too compatible with my vehicle; engine noise wise. But you might have better luck with them, or maybe you don't care about engine whine/feedback.

How did you install the Y splitters? You're supposed to start them at the deck.

Also, what voltage are the preouts on the headunit? Splitting the signal to 2V shouldn't be that bad.

get a HU with more than one set of preouts.

how does the "bass knob" effect output of a different amp???? you need to do a better job of explaining this. its hard as hell to understand the problem.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

I think he's saying he has 2 monoblocks, and one of them has a bass knob connected to it. With both the amp gains zeroed out, and the bass knob of the one amp zeroed out, one sub is louder than the other.

Under ideal circumstances, one bass knob is supposed to control both amps if there's a master and copy function.
