I've got 1 amp for my highs/mids and another amp for 2 12 inch subs. Does it matter what size remote wire I use and can I run the remote wire from 1 amp to the other. Also i replaced my monsoon headunit with a aftermarket headunit. Can I use the same ground wire that my monsoon was hooked to.The amps i decided to go with was Planet Audio and Audiobahn subs

I would use a distribution block for power (one in two out ex. Stinger spd511,514). Then ground each amp seperately, find a flat spot knock the paint off with a wire brush or sand paper and run a short screw with a star washer through a ring terminal to ground each amp. Its ok to jump remote between the amps.

I wouldn't run the RCAs to the input and from the output to the input of the other like Trans Am 2000 said. I'm guessing your running a 4 channel for your mids/highs and a mono for your subs? Either way, run the RCAs properly off the headunit. Your headunit should have a single (usually blue) output for subs. Use that with a Y and a 2 channel RCA to your sub amp. Your headunit should also have a pair of RCAs for the front and a pair for the rear. Use both if you have a 4 channel amp. That way you won't end up getting highs sent to your sub amp and possibly through your subs. I used KnuKonceptz for all my wire for my setup (Fusion CA-IP500, Fosgate Power 550S for subs, Fosgate Punch 400.4 for mids/highs, CDT HD62 Gold series for the doors, CDT CL-6E for sails, Infinity Perfect10s). For my RCAs I went with KnuKonceptz Krystal Kable 4 channel 6 meter (mid/high amp), Krystal Kable 2 channel 6 meter (sub amp), and the Krystal Kable 1 male/2 female Y adapter. You could go with cheaper ones though. I ended up spending $450 just on wire.
