Can someone please help me out ?

I have a pioneer DEH-6500 with one output to aplefier and i had two subs (10' Alpine 600w) connected with Sony XPlod 1200w now i have another amplefier (Legacy 2x600) with two Sony xPlod Subs (12' 1000w) I was wondering how will i link both Amps ? Should i pass two more wires ( 12V + Ground ) From the battery ? Or can i juxt plug them in the first's amp's 12V and Ground ? As well as the input , i only have one output in the stereo .. how will i plug the 2nd amp to it ?

For one, use a distribution block for power. Make the one wire from the battery large enough to accomodate the power requirements of both amps ( I'm not looking up their specs...), and the distro will distribute to a number of amplifiers. Found everywhere car audio is sold. That answers the next question, too.

You should have a full range output on one of the amplifiers to pass the signal into the second one. If one of your amps do not provide it, you will have to use Y-cables to split the signal to the amp inputs. Found everywhere car audio is sold...

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

running the different types and sizes of subs will run you into some technical problems and loss of possible spl that you may or may not care about.

Running a setup like that, with differant sub types, and amp types isnt ideal. But try it, you might be very happy with how it sounds.
