Yeah you use a distro block and yes you splice your remote wire if you are going to be running 2 amps.

Make sure you fuse the distroblock properly as you are going to be using two different amps that will pull two different amounts of current.

devide the power by the voltage. That should give you a working number and yeah around 50 should do.

This is roughly speaking, you can get all technical and all but, this should do
