Splitting +/-/Remote?

I'm going to be installing an amp and line driver in the trunk of my wifes Accord. I currently already have power, ground and remote wired to the trunk, but I'm going to need 2 sets of these to power the amp and LD. So what would be the best way to do this? I've been looking at distrubution blocks, but I have no idea as to the type I need. All wires are 8 guage...

Id say a regular car audio fused distribution block will do fine it'll more than likely be 4ga. in with 2 or 4 8ga outs.......... BTW whats "LD"??

Line Driver, like I said in the first sentence.

See, thats the thing, most of those those distrubtion blocks have only 1 input. I've got 3. Unless I could just use some sort of Y connector for the remote and ground?

If it were me, I'd just make 1 run and split them at the end to power all the sources, obviously with the run being a big gauge to the amp.

But... I tend to be the ghetto installer. What do some of our real installers think?

Yea, but split it using what? And I'm not just talking about power, I'm talking about power, ground and remote. All three need to be split and I'm looking for someone to tell me the best way to do it.
