System wiring
im going to be taking out the seats and the necessary portions of my carpet out of my 2DR 94 Integra this friday and am going to install a pair of 6.5" components and an amp to power it. what im wondering is how exactly is the best way to run each wire. i would like EVERYONES opinion on this please.
Should i have each speaker run through the door sils? (i.e. <U>left</U> speaker running through <U>LEFT</U> door sil then through 'door jamb hole' to component box.. and <U>RIGHT</U> speaker <U>through</U> RIGHT and so on..)
Or should i run both speaker wires (L/R) down the middle console then have them split up behind the head unit to go to their speakers?
should i run the RCA wire down the middle through the center console? or run it through the door sil? if so, which door sil? is the POSITIVE power wire the only wire that will cause noise interference with RCAs?? what abount ground and speaker wires?
and are power and ground wires ok to run side by side each other? and should they be run through door sils or down the middle under center console?
please give me tips its going down friday!

Hint , keep all wires and cables as short as possable, keed RCAs away from ANY power wires, [center of car is best] run power down batt. side of car, under door sil, grounds should be as close to amp as possable, no need to run them anyplace other then to the floorpan.

oh yea!! what was i thinking.. ground doesnt need to be run anywhere. thanks fcm. but one more thing.. you left out the components' speaker wires.. how should i run them?? they are going to be coming from the trunk to the doors.. would using each door sil for each speaker use less speaker wire than runnning it down the middle?
