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!

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.

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