Bi amping and cabling

I have two Carver amps that I use to Bi amp my NHT 2.9's. The question I have is what is the proper way to split the signal coming from the pre amp and deliver the left and right channels to both amps. I am currently using some simple "off the shelf" Y splitters. What should I be using and should these be customs made? It doesn't make sense to use a 1 meter pair for a relatively short interconnect.

An alternative to a split cable is a pair of these Monster solid connectors that will give you two outputs.

I've seen another brand, as well, but don't have a link handy.

You need an active crossover to do the job correctly

Zimmerma, Thanks for the reply. I assume the active crossovers duties would be to roll off the bass or treble output. Would this go into the system after the pre amp and before the respective amps, or would this be placed after the amps prior to the speaker connection?. Where would you get such a device?
