If you're doing each individually amp -> sub, amp -> sub, you wire everything like you normally would. Just make sure you set the gains exactly on both. Also, it's good if both subs and both amps are the same make/model.

Either Way

Well if you want you can run the rca from the one amp into the other usiong the preouts....Make sure that you are setting everything right on to point.If you are using class D amps you will also need to make sure that you set the hertz all the same to....Another way you may also do it is go ahead and get yourself a crossover and you can do it that way too.....That would most likely be your best route to go....Do you have 2 preouts coming off of your deck????If you do you can run another set of rca's off the deck.....Hopefully that helped you out a bit.... :thumbsup

Not A problem

Hey thats not a problem I believe strongly and would reccomend that you do go with the crossover cause that will leave you with less to tune and to do...Plus if you ever have a problem then you do not have to go through everything to see what whats wrong.......It's all a pain but take your time and you will get setup nicley....
