i'd wire the sub bridged, and for the second question, just use a splitter, or see if one amp has a remote out, in which case link them

Should be able to split the remote cable.

Check the amp manual to see if it can be bridged - it'll also tell you which channels to connect. If you don't have a manual, post up the model number and/or have a look on the manufacturer's website.

right both the amps have got rca connections obv, right and left +/- terminals then ground,remote and +12v so would id damage it if i just joined the 2 remote cables to connect them to the headunit? thanks very much. Ian ive got a jbl 400watt gto 2000 2/1channel amp and a maystar qxt 250 300watt amp thanks Ian

Yes you can bridge the amp, it should be clearly labelled on the speaker terminals as to which ones you use. You can use 2 remote cables if you wish as it only acts as a turn on wire. However you might as well bridge it off the other amp.
