Assuming your power wire is able to handle both amps' current draw...

-Buy a distrobution block (preferably fuses)

-connect it to your power wire near your amps to split your single wire into two, run each new wire to the + terminals on your amps.

-run a ground from your new amp to chassis, just like your sub amp...

-split your remote turn on wire so both amps get the signal.

-run a new set of RCA's from your deck to you new amp (if your deck only has one set of outs, buy Y-splitters for your RCAs to split the signal, you may also be able to run RCA's from one amp to the other if either of them have RCA outputs)

-run your speaker wires to the amp

-tada.

if any of that didnt make sense to you (which I'd bet you are lost).. go to a shop to get it installed, make cost some money, but you dont risk f-ing things up which I get the feeling you would if you did it yourself.

^what he said

I find that you dont have to ground your amps at the same spot but make sure its good by sanding it down to bare metal. I have no problems and I plan on finishing the last BIG 3. Any power wire higher than 4 gauge should do, just incase you have anything smaller, your amp might not get the best out of it, just my opinion, unless your amps are asking some serious powers.
