run 6 ga or 4 ga power wire as short as possible from your battery to the area where your amps will be. From the power wire, run it through a distribution block so that you can run a wire to each amp, and then hook up your subs like you would normally. You can buy rca cables that have 2 ends on one side and 4 ends on the other. And if you want to rig your power wire you can just run a small wire from the Battery input on the amp to the remote input. Itll look like your bridging the Battery and remote inputs on your amp. Do that to both amps and youll be fine.

you have more draw from your amps power wise than your alternator can handle the best thing you can do is upgrade your alternator to a larger one a capacitor will just be a band aid if you buy one of those

wow, just wow,

he is right about everything, but with a 170 amp alt, go as low as you can with the new wiring, rewire the big three as big as you can, BUT DO NOT get a cap without a new alt
