When using two sound cards there are several ways to handle the speakers. Right now I regularly use two sound cards and each one has their own amplifier and pair of speakers. In the past I have run the audio out of one sound card and into the other which in turn fed into one amplifier and one pair of speakers. In fact I've done this with three sound cards on three computers. You could put together as many sound cards as you like with this method. You could also get what you're referring to as a Y to consolidate signals from two sound cards into one for routing into one amplifier and one pair of speakers. If you go with this Y option be sure to get the correct device. You want a device that will isolate the two sound card signals keeping them from interfering with one another possibly causing damage to the sound cards.
