Go out and pick up a distributer block. You can get whole kits if you want. You might want to check out other vendors for more options (ex: cardomain fused blocks and unfused blocks. there are others too)

You will need to run another set of rca's for the sub amp.

If you are just using 2 amps then get a short jumper wire to go between the remote, power, and ground. Some amps have RCA ins and outs, if not, then get a simple Y splitter.

I would generally discourage this, especially if you're going to be using higher power amps. Replace the wire that's running to your battery with something thicker (4/2/0) at the very least. Blocks are not that expensive at all...
