Billy,
The simplest way would be to 'daisy-chain' them. If at least one of your amps has two 'inputs', you can run a second cord "out" from input #2 of the first amp to the main input on the second amp.
Another way would be some sort of stereo (2 output) stomp pedal, like a reverb or chorus pedal. You can alter your sound a bit by running one clean amp, and one with effects, too.
To do that, just go: Guitar > VP > Amp 1 > Chorus/Delay > Amp 2

HI
I did the same things years ago, I just made myself a "Split" cord, one input to the guitar and two output plugs, one going to each amp, works great. Paul |

You also didn't say what amps. I have three, all have a line out (the LTD is labeled "Booster"). If I wanted to deafen the neighborhood (each of mine is at least 200W), I'd run from the line out of one into the input of the next. I'd put the Evans first as it sounds the best

I would recommend running them in Stereo, rather than daisy-chain.
This would require a Volume pedal with two outputs (fwiw, my Hilton and Goodrich Volume pedals all have 1-input and 2-outputs).
Or...
You could run one line out of your volume pedal to a deley and/or reverb unit with stereo outputs.
You will need an Ebtech Hum-X on the AC plug of one of the amps to eliminate the ground loop buzz (you could also use a 3-to-2 adapter on one plug, but never touch both amps at once if you do this).
Stereo Steel sounds great!!!
Here's that Ebtech product:
