Default Wiring multiple amps

Looking for directions on how to wire two amps into a set up. 2012 SG with pioneer HU. I will be adding a small amp to run my horns. What additional parts are required? Looking to fit both inside the fairing.

Ok so, u run the 2nd amp EXACTLY how u ran the 1st amp. Except u can run a remote turn on from one amp to the next. Done. Not that hard.

Currently using the DD D4.90. Haven't picked the second amp. Thinking maybe the D4.60, soundigital 250.2, or the AD 400.4. Just looking to get a grasp on the plan before I start.

No outputs on that amp so you will have to use some Y adapters for the signal, unless you use an outboard crossover.

The other thing you could do is to find an amp with outputs for your "A" amp, then use that one for your "B" amp.
