So Alpman,
Would you run a ground from your head unit to the back seat to ground it at the smame point that the two amps are grounded? Or would you just ground it on the chasis in the center console next to the stick shift? Keep in mind I really dont want any noise in my system.[/b]
Not alpman, but a ground wire that long probably isn't a good idea. Just ground it somewhere in the dash, there is plenty of metal up in there. I wouldn't say even the center console, just find a piece of metal and use a self tapper. Also I don't think you are going to have an issue with noise, the car is insulated fairly well.

Also, the power wire for the smaller amp is run at the front of the back seat and the RCA cables are run at the back of the back seat. Will this be a large enought distance away from one another to eliminate possible noise? The distance is about 2' away from one another. Honestly i havent actually run that pair of RCA cables yet, so Im not positive that I have enought cabe to run it that way, I might be a little short in wich case I will just come down the center of the car with those RCA cabels.[/b]
That is a large enough distance, 2" is plenty, there isn't enough current to radiate that distance.

Oh and I dont know if you all noticed but I am using one Accesory wire for both amps. (by running one from HU to big amp then one from big amp to small amp)
Is this ok or do I need to run two Accesory wires from the HU?
thanks[/b]
Just splitting the wire should be fine, I wouldn't, however, run from one amp to another, just my personal preference, not sure it matters.

PS: oh by the way my speaker wires for the door components are run on the right side of the car and along the firewall.[/b]
I would try to keep all wires seperate, power down one side, speakers wires down the middle, RCAs to the other side. This is just my personal prefence, keeps bunches of wires down and keeps a neat look.
