Running two amps

[BigOleDom 10+ year member]

I am planning on running two amps in my car, a couple of questions.

Can I just splice the main power cable I have running to my amp atm. If I can, how could I do this?

How far should the two the two grounds be away from each other?

Can I just splice my remote wire for the two amps?

use distrobution blocks to split the power and grounds.

So both grounds can be ran to the same point?

what gauge wiring, and what size amps?

Power from battery is only 4 gauge, 8 gauge from the 4 gauge for the amp power, using 4 for ground. The amps are a 400 watt and a 250 watt.

For the remote wire you can just wire them in series if you're only running two amps. Also known as "Daisy Chaining".
