Run one remote turn-on wire to both systems.  Here's the wiring:

Instead of  "additional accessories" and  "fans" would be your various amplifiers.  Put a toggle switch in between system 1 and system 2, and run the wires and switch to whatever location in the truck you want.  You can toggle system 2 on and not affect the primary system.

You can use a toggle that will turn one system off and turn the other one on at the same time.  It would be wired before both sysems, with each system taking a side of the switch.  Everything would still come after the relay.

Or a toggle before each system, both after the relay.

You didn't get what I said?  The remote wire comes off the head unit, so that means the head unit is not considered to be either system 1 or system 2.
