Power wise - i've seen many different dodgy hookups, but personally I reckon the best way is to use a distibution block. You've presumably got one cable running from the battery (via a fuse I hope!) to the amp - you would just put that cable into a distribution block, and then have 2 cables from there - one to each amp. Something like this: clicky depending what size cables you're using!
Don't for get to run earth leads from both amps too - ideally to the same point - or could use another dist block.
Remote lead is only a small current - 3 or 5 amps or something i think, so you could just link one to the other if the amps are next to each other.

Signal RCA/Phono wise - your amps have probably got an 'out' next to the input - you can just use a phono from there to the other amp if you want to make it easy.
If they haven't got an output or 'daisychain' pair, then you'll need to use a pair of splitters (clicky) and then phono's from there to each amp's input.

Might also be worth using a line driver, clicky, to increase the output from the h/u - especially if you end up using splitters!!

Hope that helps!!

Can you tell i've got nothing better to do!!

Also, just thought - if you're running with the battery in the boot and i'm assuming the amps will be in the boot - you could just run two (individually fused) +ve cables direct from the battery!!

A linedriver won't be needed with only two amps, this ain't no £3000 install.
