Strapping more than two amps together? How?

I see lots of cars that have 4+ big amps in there car to run the subs. I also only see 1 bass knob. How can this be done?

pass-thru, 1 master and 3 slaves. Bass knob of master (1st amp) controls all of them so to speak

EDIT: They make devices (such as SMD CC-1) that you still need to use to gain match them all though

I would venture to say with 4 amps they probly have 2of them strapped. So 2 sets of strapped amps. Now how to controll them they can do one of a few things. I would venture to say they use a PAC lc-1 with splitters on it and from there they run 2 sets of rca's to each set of strapped amps. That or if the amps have a input for rca's and output so you can just daisy chain them together.

I just use a phone line splitter, works fine on my aq amps.

RJ11 splitter is what soundqubed told me, but I would use an lc-1 over that anyday.
