hooking up two amplifiers?

How would i go about doing such a thing? Both amps are 250 watts and able to be cross'd and bridged. Is it possible to do so? Their going to 2 10" Pioneer subs.

The correct way is to install a distribution block on the power wire. If you don't want to spend the money on one, you can just run the power and remote off the other amp. Be sure to connect both grounds at the same spot on the body, don't connect the ground off of one amp to the ground on the other or you may get noise.
