I'ma try and help you just by going on the visuals i've seen on my car...

1. You'll need a power distrobution block. I'm not sure if this should be fused or not? I'm sure it wouldn't harm anything if you did but I didn't have a fused distrobution block and it was fine...

2. I believe most people will say ground both amp seperately. But I would think if you used like a 2-4 gauge ground wire that split into 2 4-8 gauge wires then you would be fine. But get someone elses opinion on this please...

3.Your gonna need 2 "Y" rca adaptors... Ask for 1 female and 2 male adaptors... You might also need rca extensions?... It depends how far apart your amps are? Actually now that I think of it i'm pretty sure you'll need an extra few feet of rca wire anyways...

4. I think the last thing you'll need a a remote wire distrobution... Mine was a lil blue clip with the remote wire off the head unit then it split into 2 remote wires to go to their own amps...

HOPE THIS HELPED!!

When grounding like that MAKE SURE YOU SCRAPE THE METAL!! With sandpapaer, grinder, dremmel tool, or anything to get shiny metal and no paint... I used a bolt to get a GREAT solid UNMOVEABLE ground... Because if you don't do this you may have troubles with your amps shutting off or possibly not even turning on?
