[QUOTE="swimfreak26, post: 419963, member: 544365"] The best way to run your subs, in my opinion, is to use one amp. This will do two things for you: It will make sure that they are getting the same signal and power, and it will generally save you money (as one big amp is generally less expensive than two smaller ones). Beyond doing those two things, it will save you a lot of time wiring if you're planning to complete the install yourself, as you won't have to mess with large power wire, then a distro block, then smaller power wire to your amps. If you do decide that you want to do two amps, the best way, and someone step in if you don't agree, is to run power wire into your trunk, and then get a distrobution block from which you can send power to each amp...and whatever you do, do not connect one terminal on each amp to each sub. It is very difficult to have the amps set the exact same, and for that you want to make sure that each sub has it's own personal amp, this will help as to not cause imbalance in the sub as it is moving.
