Another audio question, help please

Hey guys, so far you all have been extremely helpful with my audio install, I have never installed any audio stuff in a car at all and this time I installed my dual dinn head unit with self made climate control relocation, Bypassed my head unit and tapped into the speed wire. Now I am getting ready to hook up my new component and coaxial speakers and have a couple of questions.

1. Where is the best place to mount the cross overs for my front component speakers?? Also when running a four-channel amp do I plug the speaker wire from the amp into the crossovers or just run the speaker wire from the amp directly to the speakers.


and 2nd,

Sorry if this is a dumb question but, I need to run another power wire because from my first wire I have it going into a distribution block and it outputs to my aquamist kit, and my four channel amp.

I have a mono amp for my subwoofer and need to power it. I have another 4 AWG amp kit for it but I was wondering if I could run it through anywhere else (other than the passenger side firewall. I already have 1 power wire and a methanol hose running through there so its kind of tight already, Is there any other holes in the firewall I can run the wire through or do I have any other options...


ANY INFO IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!


THANKS AGAIN,


JEFF

You should have plenty of room to mount your crossovers under the passenger seat. Your speaker wires need to go from the 4 channel amp, into the crossovers, and then to your components.
As for you power wire I would recommend running into the blank grommet in the drivers side door jam, this took me some time since i had to jack up the car and remove the wheel and pull the inner plastic out to expose the grommet.

Hope this helps
