well first youd have to run the rca's (obviously) then you need to but a distribution block for the power http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...0714025&catid= and you mite need one for you ground obviously it wont need to be fused... then u need to split ur remote wire and thats it.

Also depending on how much power the two amps are taking, make sure the power cable from your battery is thick enough and change the fuse in your engine compartment equal to the sum of the two fuses in the distribution block.

get a fuse block and a ground block, a fuse block is $20 and a ground block is $5, run a thick guage wire from the postive of the battery to the fuse block, then run a think ground wire from the body of the car to the ground block.

From the deck run good set of rca (cheap rcas break after awhile, spoken from experience) and run your remote wire to where the amp is going to be.

*warning dont run more that 2 amps off ur deck remote wire cause it MIGHT burn out the remote wire from the deck*

the fuse block and ground block can be mouthed in the trunk. run a wire from the fuse block to the postive of the amp. then run a wire from the ground block to the GND/Negative of the amp. Hook up the RCA wire to the amp along with Remote wire.

While doing this make sure your key is out of the egnation and there is no fuse in the fuse block. after all the wires are hooked up to the amp, then put in the fuse.

TO HOOK UP ANOTHER AMP.
run a wire from another terminal from the fuse block and another wire from the ground block to the correct spot on the amp. the remote can be the same wire, just split it between to 2 amps.

The RCA, if ur deck has 1 set of RCA and u dont wanna change ur deck then buy a EQ/PRE-AMP which can give u more RCA outputs if u buy the correct one, they are cheap $60. If ur deck is old and has 2volt preouts withe 2 pairs of RCA, it will share votlage between the 2 amp which really sucks, trust me i know. Just get a EQ/Pre-amp and it will fix the problem. It will give u more voltage than a old deck. Thats what I did.

Every1 has their own ways of doing an install. So dont pick on me because u may do it different.

Well this shoudl answer ur question in alil more detail. If anything else just msg me... good luck.

check your existing amp to see if you have aux. outs to cut down on running another set of RCAs...

You will need a distro block. These can be found at Selective Sound. Davis will help ya out and likely give you a great rate to have it installed there. :thumbsup:
