run 1 power wire to a d-block, then to both amps. (if you use ring terminals or are able to get two power wires into amp 1's power terminal, you may just jump to amp 2 from there) Run both grounds to chassis, but try to use 1 ground spot. keeping the grounds as short as possible. run the rem out of amp 1, into amp 2. And amp section is for amp questions.

chassis = the frame if your car has one, or anywhere on the metal body if your car is unibody




red = power

blue = remote

black = ground

First you have to know if the car unibody or full frame. With unibody you can ground to anywhere on the metal body. Otherwise you have to ground to the frame which usually means drilling a hole though the floor.

Any of those methods will work.
