Please list makes/models for your gear. You simply are wiring two amps, each connectred to one sub?

Some amplifiers are "Strappable" but as mentioned above we have no way of telling if your amps are capable of that. The line out on your amp is either for sending a high pass signal to your high end amplifier, or it is so you can connect multiple sub amps to one RCA cable without using Y adapters. In order to tell you which of the above, we need to know what kind of amp you have.

EXACTLY which amps you have - make and models. It would also be helpful to know your woofers as well, so we can tell you if it'll be a safe situation, should the first situation (amp strapping) be feasible.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Well, if they are different amplifiers (and they are...) there is NO WAY to strap them. One woofer to each amp, in whatever mode you choose, set the gains so they are the same volume.

That's all you get!
