Setting up 2 power amplifiers to setup at once help?

Hey guys I’m using a pair of Polk rti a7s with a Denon Poa 2800 amplifier and Denon receiver 2801. I just bought another power yamha PC2002M power amplifier which has a little more kick then the denon 2800. But I will be giving the denon 2800 to my dad when he gets back from his trip. I just want to know is it possible to hook up the 2 power amps to my setup at once ? And is it worth will I see a big difference in sound quality and performance ? I’m just curious and want to do a bit of experimenting only if it’s possible? Don’t want to risk blowing anything up. Thanks guys

Might consider using the 2801 to power the highs for your speakers and the 'sub' out from the 2801 into the Yamaha to power the lows.
Imo, it's not a good idea, you don't want to use a active crossover in the receiver and the passive crossover in the speakers at the same time.
Use a pair of 'Y' rca cable connect the FRONT R/L pre-out to both power amp input.
