okay sound good. tomorrow i'll rip the panels off and look at it again. you guys know the diamater of the wire? prolly not...lol. i plan to eventually be running 2000w to the subs and 900w to mids and highs.... 250A alt and 1 kinetic monster. think 1 run of 0 awg will be enough?

I'd pull up the door trim panels but run the wire actually under the carpet along the side. Takes a little bit more time to pull up the edge of the carpet and run the wire down it but then there's no problem with the panels. Also i'd do the same for th other side where you should run the RCAs. I like to run them little further in away from the door cause there is usually a nice chunk of wires running along the passenger side or drivers side for the tail lights and some of the onboard computers.

Basically u need 2 remove ur carpet & run that 0G wire along 1 side of the transmission tunnel (different ppl call it different names) but u will have 2 lift 1/2 of ur carpet 2 do it . Other side of the tunnel u run the rcas & on either far side of the floor i run L/R speaker wires & i put my REM on the middle on top of the tunnel so every type of wire if not near the other . Thats just the way i personally do it ...

ive got all kinds of ideas. for the front i was thinking maybe oz audio components with an extra pair of CDT titanium tweets with the volume controller. i was thinking at one point in time a 4 inch comp set (maybe CDT, diamond hex, or rainbow) and a tangbang 6.5 for midbass. i was thinking maybe xr653s, ZR650s, possible dls ur36, dls ur6s, and lately ive been thinking seas lotus performance set and maybe an extra pair of seas tweets with them. the rear i'll be worrying about later, but i want my front stge to be really good. clean crisp clear and LOUD. i like bright tweets. id do horns if they werent so big.

oh and i might be able to get ZRs for 450 so im leaning towards that. but then again the seas lotus performance set are 450 and i get a warranty and they are suposed to be really good, i wish i could afford the reference set....
