you'd do it something like this...

This particular diagram shows 2 amps each driving a sub, but the power/remote wiring would be similar. The main power and ground wires need to be thick enough to provide adequate current for both amps.

Signal isn't shown, but if you have Front/Sub outputs or Front/Rear/Sub outputs on your HU that should be easy enough to figure out.

There are a few different ways to do it. You will need a fused distribution block for the power, and power wire to go from the block to the amp. You will also need wire to make another ground. What Kind of HU do you have? If you have 2 sets of preouts on the back, you can run another set of RCAs into the amp you have for the highs.

What I'm saying looks like the diagram but has 2 sets of preouts coming off the HU. ONe for the sub and one for the highs.
