Yes but....You probably don't need to because both amps most likely wont 
pull that much power at once. If they BOTH arent running subs and are 
crossed over then you will probably be ok. If it does need that much power

then I would be looking at the size of the wire going to both amps or
adding 
another power cable to the new amp. Depending greatly on length you would 
need something like 4 gauge to get 70 amps to the back of a car without 
voltage drop. I like to run welding cable if its a run front to back.
  Bottom line: Try it first and see if it blows :) OR run a second power 
cable unless u have a REALLY big power cable allready.
Oh, if you do run a single cable make sure your amps are protected 
seperately by the correct fuse also. (the one usually on the amp itself)
The 
fuse by the battery is to protect your cable from burning your car to the 
ground if it shorts.
