i've got 2 amps for my subs,but only one pre-out from HU of course.i know i should be using amp's line out to connect the other one,but it is unable to send unfiltered signal from it,so i'm using Y-splitter to feed both of them and it seems to be fine(is it?).But when i think about it,are these 4volts getting to BOTH amps line-in or are they divided,so i'm getting only 2volts each? Nobody could answer me this question,so i'm asking you guys,thanks.

that right on the 4v but it will work for 2 amp.
i have 3 amps out of a 8v HU. if the amp will not turn on. check your wires.

Your h/u is seeing half the impedance, but voltage should remain the same(4v to each). A decent h/u will simply provide twice the current w/o a significant voltage drop.

It's alpine 9835,so it should be decent enough.But installation guy says it providing only 2volts,so he's wrong,right?

Tell him to prove it. In fact ask him to stick 2 pins in the wall outlet and touch them. If he survives that, then politely enquire about which pin gave more shock.
The correct answer should be "equal".
