Y-splitting LFE on Amp

I have the following setup in backyard:

 

Amp connected to outdoor 3rd party speakers

Amp LFE connected to dedicated sub amp LFE input

 

I plan to add another Amp and 2 more speakers to create surround sound for movies. If I wanted to add another sub with its own dedicated amp, can I do the following?

1. Y-split the LFE output of the primary Amp that's powering my current speakers and connect the split connection to 2nd sub amp?

2. Can I use the LFE output of the 2nd Amp (powering surround speakers) and connect it to the LFE input of the 2nd sub amp?

 

TIA!

If the second Amp is used for rear surround it's sub output is disabled.

You can Y-Split the front AMP’s subwoofer output in order to add a second subwoofer. Subwoofer output on the surround AMP is disabled.
