Not neccesarily. I don't know what affect a Y cable would have on the resistance levels (it would probably increase your noise floor) in this situation but having a Y cable, no matter what configuration would be dodgy.

................/--Aux in empeg
CD out --<
...............\--Amp in

This arrangement would mean that the amps could get CD out from _two_ sources if the empeg is set to aux.

CD out------\
..................>Amp in
Empeg out-/

This arrangement would mean that the CD AND the empeg couold play at the same time.


I've been thinking about a set of relays that swap the inputs to the amps if the empeg is turned on and when it isn't, the amp input is set to the CD/radio. This would be activatied by the amp remote line from the empeg.

Now if only i had the time...

I don't think, therefore I am not.
