You can run whatever you like. Does not have to be the same amps.

With exceptions, depends on wiring strategy, two amps are normally used when utilizing more than 4 speakers.

I think he is talking about the amps that have the feature to signal jump from amp to amp though. Never had one of those amps so no clue how it works or the required parameters.

Yeah, I was just wondering because I do have a output for RCA OUT and while on the internet I seen where people connected both amp. I wanted to ask the team to see if there was a benefit to it. I wasn't planning on doing that,but it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Thanks
