Running 2 amps?
Hi mate.
You will need a couple of things but first you need to know that the Power cable you have is large enough to power two amps.
If you add up the fuse rateings on both the amps and let me know the size of the cable you have.
You'll need two distribution blocks.
One of them needs to be fused, for the power cable.
The fuse under your bonnet, needs to be the same as the combined fuse rateings on both amps, and then the two fuses in the distribution block, must match the fuse rateing on each of the amps.
You'll also need a non fused disttribution block for the Earth cable, dont be tempted in adding an extra cable, as you can get interferancedue to a Grounding 'Loop'
As your only useing two amps, you would be safe to use the one remote cable, and daisy chain this to the second amp (Headunit -> Amp one -> Amp two) any more than two amps you would need a reley.
If you have more than one Pre-out on your headunit, greatr just use a second set of RCA (Phono Leads)
If you dont, you can use an RCA Splitter on the one RCA to splut the signal into two.
