How do you hook up 2 amps to 1 capacitor(2.4 farad)

run the power wire of each amp straight to the positive post of the cap... as well as the power wire from the battery... use a single ground wire (same size as positive wires) for each component and ground them all at the same place on the frame of the car, not at the caps negative post.

maybe its for 2 sub amps 
it wouldnt hurt having a sub amp and main speaker amp both hooked up to a cap... besides, it makes a rather nice, but simple distribution point. I do see what you're getting at though... but an amp powering higher frequencies also hits "peaks" where it will draw more power.
