Do any of the amps have a pair of output jacks?

if the amps dont have an output (pass-thru) then you will need to buy some splitters. you are going to lose sound quality though.

You can use a pre-amp EQ. Most have 3 or 4 outputs. Some come with an output for the sub amp with a knob for volume also.

If its for subs you won't notice much a SQ decrease with splitters. With comps it will probly be a bit more noticeable.
