im going to be running 2 amps-
one pioneer gm600f which is 480w 4-channel
and one alpine MRP M350 - 300w MONO
can i use one power cable going to a distribution block then 2 feeds coming out the other end - one to each amp?
same with the earth
the remote wires i can just run in series right? or is it better to split the wire with a connector and take a seperate remote to each amp?
what size power cable and fuse? ive already got quite a chunky cable with the AGU fuse holder, the fuse in there at the moment is 60A
cheers

everything u said yes! just run the remote into one amp, then out to the other, or if you want neons etc use a relay (about £5)
you will need at least 4awg cable, not sure on the fuse, 60A will be fine tho!

is it not better to spilt the remote wire, rather than run in series?

you can easily connect two amps using the remote lead from the HU. But after that, i would recommend using a relay if you have 3 or more

ideally a relay should be used for more than one amp, it also makes it very easy to connect neons etc up, soon as u switch your head unit on, everything comes on. also if something goes off u know exactly where to look, relay!
