Can you use two coaxial cable amplifiers in line safely?

I have a very weak signal coming in through my wall. I have a 30 dB amp from radio shack cranked all the way on, and I still dont receive some channels. Others are choppy. I want to put a 10 dB amp in between the current amp and the box. Is this safe to do?

    It's SAFE to do it, but it won't FIX YOUR PROBLEM.....

    That is a band-aid, but it doesn't eliminate the BROKEN CABLE CONNECTION.....

    And you need to FIX the broken connection. Then you won't need the amplifiers at all.....

    Bad cable connector, bad splitter, NO connection to cable services. Those are what you look for....

    Or call the cable repair company and let them figure it out for you.
