Not going to sound very good. Simpify your system or pony up for additional amplifiers, or at least one additional amp for your subwoofers.

even if.

get the amps you need. We've all started the same way, with the same idea. It doesn't pan out.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

If you're short on funds this works fine. You'll lose your F/R fade and won't have peak quality, but it gives you some tunes while saving for a sub amp. I'm using a JL HD600 for my entire system until I get an HD750 to power my subs.

You'll still need to wire up everything like both amps are there, so it doesn't really save you much except the temp cost of buying one amp.

What are the makes/models of your amp(s) and speakers?

That tells me nothing. Makes and model numbers might help (and please read the forum rules.)
