Running wires this week...tips?
Got all the components in the mail to run the stereo system and now it just comes down to the labor. I got the head unit in in about 10 minutes last night cause I was antsy to do something. I know I need to pull it to run RCA's but had to do it. I am looking for tips / tricks or suggestions in running the wires now to power the amps.
My plan is to add two amps behind the rear seat. I will have 4 ga power from the battery, remote turn on, 2 distribution blocks (1 power, 1 grounding) and 2 or 3 sets of RCA's coming from the head unit.
I also need to run new speaker wires to the doors from the amps. Last time I did this I practically butchered my little Contour. Has anyone encountered trouble or found easier ways to do it than the obvious?
Thanks in advance...

Truckasaurus, I posted a question last week about running wires for my GPS. Someone (sorry, I forgot your user name!) posted some great step by step pictures. Do a search for "external antenna" and you should find it.
