When wiring for 2 amps 1 being for the subs and 1 for the speaker is it ok to just splice the remote wire that is going to my sub amp and run it to the remote on the speaker amp and then run rcas from the output of my sub amp to the input on the speaker amp?

You can daisy chain the remote and the RCA's and it won't cause a problem. The remote is just that, it is just a remote turn on switch. All it does it tells the amps to turn on with the HU. The RCA's carry the signal from the HU to the respective amps. If you want the two amps to get the same signals from the HU then it is not a problem. I run all my remotes and RCA;s to one amp and then from the output on that amp to the input on the next. it is daisy chaining and it happens all the time in car audio. Most people do this when running multi amps and the same thing with multi batts

can you do this if you are using a subwoofer-out from the back of your HU, or do you have to run a seperate set of RCA's for a speaker amp? i am not sure if there is a difference in the signal between the sub out and the other outs.
