Can i splice wires for second amp

Im going to set up a second amp, can I just splice the wires from the ones I already hasve running to my other amp?? The only one I really wanna do is the power wire, so I dont have to drilla hole in the firewall adn run a whole new wire through the car. So, can I run 2 amps off of one power wire?

You can use the same POWER cable to supply both amps but the cable must be of large enough to support the current draw of both amps.

One amp is 525W max, not sure of RMS, and has a 40A fuse. The other is 250W rms and has a 20A fuse.

what size power wire are you running?    I always recomend that when you do an install you use 4 guage wire   it is not much more then 8 guage and you can upgrade later on with power problems,    most 4 guage kits come with a distribution block so you can run more then one amp,    if you are running 4 guage you should look into a distro block,   should not be more then $20 at a local shop2009 0-1000 Trunk WR 154.0DB 2009 1001+ Trunk WR

I ended up running another wire, both are 8G. If I ever upgrade to a bigger amp I will upgrade the wiring as well.

Just be sure to fuse BOTH wires with appropriately sized fuses close to the battery.  New Project: 2003 Pathfinder

Yes. They both have 60A fuses close to the battery.

Shouldn't one be 40 or less and the other 20 or less? New Project: 2003 Pathfinder

No, the fuse by the battery is to protect the wire itself, not the amp. If its 8 gauge wiring then you will probobly need a 60 amp fuse at the battery for each.
