Default dual amps

ok my buddy is going to add to his setup in the form of another amp.
hes got 2 12s powered off one as of now. his plan is to have one amp power a sub of its own.

so that means sub A gets an amp and sub B gets an amp
what we need to know is how do we connect 2 amps to one head unit? special plugs?

it should go
HU>>amp(A)+sub & amp(B)+sub. but how?
any help would be awsome.
any added tips would be cool too

RCA Y cable is pretty much the simplest way to do it, unless the amp you have has an RCA in and out, (in from the deck out to another amp....some amps have it..some dont) but radioshack should have you covered, they even hav it in "monster cable"
