As far as the positive terminal is concerned yes, but, you had better put in a fuse in line. for the negative terminal it is much better to wire it to a bolt or screw that is bolted through the chassis. this will keep your equipment better protected from surges, or any other unforeseen voltage irregularities.

Yes you can, The battery is in the back of the trunk, you hook your amp up to the battery and then the amp to the sub, you need to buy a converter for the back speaker, you can buy one from any car audio shop, you then splice the wires in the back and hook up your converter, then hook the converter to the amp, But get it professionally installed because my buddy tried to do it with his magnum and it started to blow fuses, It shocked him today, he is going to get it professionally done today

How do you hook up two car stereo amplifiers one to each sub in there own box can you run a power wire out of one amp over to the other amp?

Do you mean the main power from the battery or the remote turn on? If you mean the battery power, usually amp add on kits come with distributor blocks. You make one run of power wire from the battery to somewhere close to your amps. Then, hook that wire to the block, and run a new piece of wire from the block to each amp. If you mean the turn on lead, just make one run from the head unit to the first amp, and then run another piece from the first amp to the second.
