run 1/0 from teh battery to a distro block, split it off with 4 gauge 1 to each amp. and 4 gauge grounds from each amp to the chassis. fuse before the amps and within 18 inches of the battery as well.

how you wire them to each amp depends on teh vc config of the subs. also run teh remote wire from hu to one amp, then run another wire from that amp to the next amps remote turn-on. then run the rcas from the hu to one amp, then another set from teh first amp to the second amp.

fuse at teh battery for total power being consumed but not to exceed the maximum rating of the wire.

then fuse for each amp according to the amp's current draw respectively
