OK i'm quickly entering water out of my depth so asking for more help.
Also i'm not sure if this is a speaker query or if it belongs in solid state, possibly both. In order to make up for the inefficiency of the cheaper sub drivers ( that is the ones I can afford ) I was thinking of using multiple subs run in parallel. WAF on this project is OK so far with 3 * 15 inch subs, and we have just discussed using the pair of Ri-poles as the side legs of the coffee table ( good-one CC) so there is now the possiblity of 2 more subs 15 inch or more better 2 * 18inch. Can I just use a splitter on the output side of the crossovers mono output and run the independent lines to the subwoofer amplifiers?? I have the 2 stereo amps and the mono block and I can tailor the power of the amps to the X-max of the individual drivers. Amplifiers are voltage device aren't they? So does it matter if I divide a voltage signal into 5, one for each amplifier channel?? Output will be from a Behringer XO the CX3400

Yes.. Running independent lines to the subwoofers should be fine. Sorry but I don't get your last 2 questions. I think it's the wording.

Most amplifiers have a high input impedance.
You should have no problem driving multiple amplifiers from a single source.

Thanx, just wanted to be sure before I hooked up multiple amplifiers to one source.
What I meant about tailoring amps to drivers, I can use a smaller amplifier on the H-frame subs tha have no box load and can be driven to X-max eaasily and use the bigger amp on the pair of drivers in boxes that can handle more power. So I just use the mono-sum output of the Behringer XO divide it by the number of amplifiers I need and use that number of RCA cables?? Which is what I would have done, I just asked because when i divided the output of my 5.1 Sub out receiver by 4 it worked fine but when I added an extra splitter to send a signal to 6 plate amps I seemed to get less output. Specifications for input sensitivity on power amps usually give a voltage rating for maximum output but never seem to mention a current rating, I did not know if there was a simultaneous current rating below which the amplifier would not work

Before I solder up the adaptor does any-one in Australia know of a supplier of insulated end caps for RCA connectors??
I'd like to be assured that inadvertant shorting did not take place and a quick "Google" found no reference to what I'm looking for. Regards Ted
