Just trying to finish peicing together a mild stereo upgrade and need to run a power cable from the battery...
Suggested locations of entry into the cab with minimal fuss? I have a AUII SR 5.0ltr for those who dont know :P

That's what I did, pushed it from inside the car out through the little hole and just pulled it through with some pliers

just fill the hole with sikaflex to make sure you don't have any issues of the cable rubbing thru

i would say he has a monoblock for the sub, and just 2 channel amps ie front and rear speakers.
i would just amp the sub and fronts personally. and just run the rears off the head unit. the rears are just good for rear fill. i only have that set up in my car and sounds wicked IMO, especially for a 'budget' install.

I have Fusion 5×7" speakers running of matched Kenwood amps...
The reason for 3 amps... i already owned them... had them in another project and didnt want to spend out again for things i already own... Havent bothered installing the 3rd amp for the sub yet... gotta get the sub in first... and that alone i cant get in Aust...

I run 3 amps, can get much better sound doing so. Have a monoblock for the subs, and 2 4 channel amps, have splits front and rear, 1 amp runs the tweeter and one for the mids.
