Good Day Gents!
I am a proud owner of a Mercedes Benz PRE MERGER AMG SEC Coupe. While maintaining the classic interior appointments, I decided to install the following components. A Nakamichi MB 100 with the separate DAC / Pre amplifier, Audiocontrol Epicenter, Audiocontrol 3.1 signal processor, Nakamichi DB 50 dual amplifier balancer, Nakamichi PA 304 4 channel amplifier for the front and rear satellite transducers, and a Nakamichi PA 302 2 channel amplifier ( bridged ) with a JL Audio 10 inch low frequency transducer. Here is where I would like to receive your input. The 24 Bit High Definition DAC Pre amplifier has an output selector with the option of using a 1 volt, 2 volt, and 5 volts, along with an Acoustic Response Compensator with Lower Midrange optional settings of 100, 120, 140, 160 Hz @ -10db, -5db, and 0 db.
The Upper Midrange settings are at 1.0k, 1.2k, 1.4K, and 1.6k with -5db, -2.5db, and 0db. It has dual front and rear outputs. To get the optimum output from the preamplifier, do you recommend that I incorporate Y Adaptors on the front and rear outputs into the input of the Audiocontrol Epicenter, and the output from the Epicenter to the input of the Audiocontrol 3.1 in which has front, rear, and sub outputs?
I am interested in receiving your input on this matter.

Unless someone has experience with all of the components you list, it's hard to provide guidance without doing a lot of research about the individual pieces.
Perhaps you could include a diagram of exactly what you are proposing for each configuration. Your post seems to include multiple extraneous details, but then not enough detail to really discern what you are proposing for what seems like an overly complicated signal chain.
I'm not trying to be critical of your approach, just giving my reaction after a quick read since response has been slow.

Most of the choices appear to be things that would depend on your listening tastes and the vehicle's acoustics and would you listen to them to determine the best settings.
As far as y-cables go, you wouldn't want to use them to combine two OUTputs.
