wire each amp to each sub.
Thats not really bridging, or strapping amps. thats just running 2 amps, 2 subs. |

typically you'd use distribution blocks. You run a single large power wire into the (fused) d-block - 4 ga in your case, and two 8 ga wires go from there to the amp (+). From each amp (-) you run another 8 ga wire to the ground (unfused) d-block, and a 4 ga from there to chassis ground.
You would also want to put a ~80A fuse on the 4 ga primary wire somewhere near the battery (within a foot or so).
Your trigger wire can just piggy-back from one amp to the next, and the RCA's will work the same way. |
