Not all amplifiers are the same. What amplifiers are you using? Make, model number?

I would think, since they are only connected via the RCA cables, that the "bass knobs" (especially if they came with the amps) will only control the amp they are connected to unless they amps are networked. Also, depending on the amps, the "bass knob" may not be controlling signal amplitude running to the amps, but instead controlling the amount of boost at a certain frequency. Like the12volt said...make and model number would help.

I feel strange. I have deja vu and amnesia at the same time.
