most PRO amps have a pass-thu on the input.
this means you can add another amp to your system.

although, if you have a set of bass bins, and a set of full range speakers, i would not recomend using this 'link' option.

there is something called an 'electronic crossover'

this is usually a 1u box that fits in your rack and it splits the sound into a bass output and high output.
then you get your 2 amps and connect them to the outputs on your crossover...

a power speaker has a spot on the back that you plug in another power speaker...

Dude,

You will need 2 amps AND a crossover to do what I think you are trying to do.

You have one amp now. You need ANOTHER AMP.

You also need a CROSSOVER.

A crossover separates the bass from the mids and highs. With a crossover, you can have only bass sound going to your bass bins and all the mid and high sound (voice and music) going to the main speakers. Both amps will connect to the crossover. ONE amp will get only HIGH an MID RANGE frequencies, the other amp will only get BASS frequencies.

So.....

One amp for pretty much full range sound (high and mids). You will plug your main speakers into that amp.
The other amp will deliver only bass sound so you will plug your bass bins into that amp.

Understand?
