you can just run two sets of phonos from your head unit (thats what I did) 1 to each amp. Or whats called as 'daisy chain' where you run your second phonos from 1 amp to the other, if you have got more than one output on your headunit run both from there. Also remember the remote wire, i bridged mine off 1 amp to the other which is fine to do.

Thats not really a "daisy chain." A daisy chain is when you are strapping two amps together, one operates as the slave to give you one output.

How many outputs do you have on your deck?
Usually you'll have
:Front
:Rear
:NF Rear or Sub out (NF = non fading)

What JonBoy said above was correct, you can use 2x RCA outputs on the deck or only use one to run to amp #1 and then use amp#1's RCA output to run into amp #2's RCA input

to run 2 amps u need to split ur current power cable so that both amps have power suplly. i would recommend using at least 4gauge power cable, split into two 8 gauge. then each 8 gauge cable can go to each amp. Use a distribution block to split the cable. u can just use one remote lead, the thin wire that runs from your headunit to the amp. it turns the amp on when u turn ur headunit on. Just have the wire from ur headunit into one amp, and another wire from that amp to the other amp. then they will both turn on when the headunit is on.
