If you send the output of one amplifier into the input of a second amplifier, you won't end up with the combined power of both amps. You'll be limited to the output power of the last amp in the chain. For example, if you take the output from a 40-watt amp and send it to a 60-watt amp, then your output won't be higher than 60 watts.
In addition:
--Unless it's designed for a high-powered input, the second amplifier might have its input circuitry damaged by the output from the first amplifier.
--Each time you amplify a signal, you add some distortion. The effect is cumulative, meaning that the output from the last amp will have the distortion of all the amps before it as well.

your talking about bridging your amps. If the installation is proper you shouldn't have any problems. people been bridging amps for years.
