  We set up and analyze a random matrix model to study energy localization and
its time behavior in two chaotically coupled systems. This investigation is
prompted by a recent experimental and theoretical study of Weaver and Lobkis on
coupled elastomechanical systems. Our random matrix model properly describes
the main features of the findings by Weaver and Lobkis. Due to its general
character, our model is also applicable to similar systems in other areas of
physics -- for example, to chaotically coupled quantum dots.
