"strapping" two amps together for one sub is a big deal and only a couple of amps out there can support it.

It sounds to me like you are running 2 amps to two different sets of subs. This is a very poor idea. It will sound like poo, have cancellation problems, and look completely ghetto. Don't do it...

If you are using one amp to power the sub and another amp to power front speakers you will simply need to make sure you have two sets of RCA's, a distribution block, and smaller wire after the dist block to the amps.

If you have 8 gauge right now, you will need to upgrade the main power wire from the battery to 2 or 4 gauge, but then you can use the existing 8 gauge to run from the distrobution block to the two amps. Everyone from wal mart to your local audio store will have d blocks.
