Default Amp install questions

Hey everyone. This is my first post and just let me say that I apprecite this forum and everyone involved with it. Over the last few weeks I've gotten so much information from here that my brain hurts! But it's worth it to do things right.
My Wrangler: 2009 Unlimited X non-infinity
I have most of my new system together: Alpine Type-s components in front, Type-s co-ax in soundbar. Pioneer GM-D9500F 4 ch amp for these speakers. Almost done with this part.
Using PAC aoem chr 3 adapter to KEEP factory single disc sat. headunit. This adapter has an amp turn on lead that I will use for the Pioneer amp.

Here's my first question: Can I use the same lead to turn on another amp when I get around to adding a sub? Just splice into it and run it to the second amp?

Second question: This amp has an rca OUTPUT that is listed as a pass thru. Can I use that output to send signal to amp for sub?

Thanks in advance!

Yep! If you're just powering two amps off of one turn-on, you won't have any problems and shouldn't need a relay.

1. yes

2. yes, but check to see if the internal crossover impacts the pass-through. generally not, but check.
