How to Connect Surge Protector and Power Conditioner

I currently use two Monster surge protectors to handle all of my cords from electronic home theater devices. I do not have a rack system so please keep this in mind when recommending power conditioners.

Do I just buy a box type power conditioner, plug that into the wall, and then plug the two surge protectors into the power conditioner?

Thank you in advance!

Hey Craigert,
Most use a combination surge protector and power conditioner, since the functions overlap quite a bit.

What is your current audio gear, and what are you thinking of buying?

Well, 

I have a Sony OLED TV, Marantz preamp processor, Atoll amp, cable box, nighthawk router, Xbox, Rega P3 TT, and powered 12” subwoofer with 2 stereo speakers. 
I have 2 Monster JP 800 surge protectors if nothing else to plug everything into. 
My main question is whether I can plug surge protectors into a power conditioner which is then plugged into the wall.

I also need suggestions for power conditioners that are not rack mounted because this particular system is not rack mounted.

surge protector is probably best if installed in your utility box by a certified eclectrician.
