Can you split the center preout & go to 2 separate amps? Also can you use only one channel L or R on the amp without it hurting the amp? I have 3 center spks & want to use 2 separate amps, they both can only use A or B spks at a time. Thanks

    Yes, I split my center out for a 2ch amp. Worked great. Make sure u use a high quality y adapter.

    Thanks for everyones help. I should have said if it would degrade the sound by splitting with y adapter at the receiver. Then going to 2 separate amps. Also would it hurt a stereo amp by just using one spk output?

    just curious, But why a high quality Y adapter?? I really am just wondering, as generally we want high quality everything wire wise, but i used a Rat shack Y until i got my monster basic Y and both sound and work the same.. after all its only a few inches of wire from a non powered pre-amp out at that, so is there a short answer to this??
