Right now I have an 18" sub with a Crown XLS 2500 amp off of one of my sub preouts. And 4 DIYSG MBM's on the other sub preout using a Crown XLS 1002 amp. Now can I run a y splitter off of one of the sub preouts and a 1000watt RMS plate amp to a 12 inch subwoofer without messing anything up? Thanks for the help guys!

I have one of these but can't find it on the net anymore. I need this y splitter for my next sub.

A single splitter should be ok. Most AVRs with a single sub out would need a splitter for two subs. Line level outputs and inputs are high impedance so it should not harm any equipment. Must be a big room to require 6 subs.
 
I've used a variety of splitters, even multiples on one sub pre-out without issue....particular gear might be an issue maybe.
 
What particular gear do you mean loveinthehd?
 
Might depend on impedance specs between gear....not a usual problem these days for your application, tho. Just split the signal and see if any issues manifest would be my suggestion....
