Help w/wiring 2 amps

I need some help with running two amps. I plan on getting a 2 ch and bridge it to run one 12" woofer, and a 2 ch to run the 6x9's. I don't quite understand how you would wire two amps.

My HU has two preouts, one labeled Rear and one labeled Front. Do I run the RCA wires from the Rear output on the HU to the subwoofer amp and run RCA wires from the subwoofer amp's output to the other amp's input??? Or can I simply run the Rear RCA output on the HU to the subwoofer amp, and run the Front RCA output on the HU to the 6x9's amp? What's the correct/best way to go???

Also, with a two amp system, what kind of wiring kit would I need? The subwoofer amp I plan on using is 200W RMS bridged, woofer is 800W Max. The amp to power the 6x9's is 50x2 RMS, 6x9's are 60W RMS/260 Max.

if your not running the front speakers on an amp,just use the fade to control the bass to mid ratio. or run the rear RCA to the amps and run a line level cross-over. power wire should be run two gauge from the batt. and split up at a distribution block. 2 gauge incase you ever upgrade.....
