Amplifier question

[Crxtuner]

So im adding an amp to power my front and rear speakers and realize that im going to have to find a power source for it. I already have a sub and amp set up in the rear with a power source and my question is, Do i need to get another power source from the battery to the second amp? Or is there a way to split the voltage from the amp in my trunk and back to the amp that will be powering my speakers.

What equipment do you have and what power wire is already run?

I have 1 10'' JL audio w0 powered by a ebay dupont 100X1rms amp

the amp that is going to be powering my phoenix gold rsd's is a PPI p4240

75rmsX4 and the existing wiring for the sub and amp is just a cheap ebay kit that is probably the smallest gauge you can go.

I would remove and upgrade the wiring to a decent kit, maybe some 8awg KLM from KnuKonceptz.
