System install.

I am going to do this myself, I have installed speakers on other cars before with the tricky bose set up. Right now I have a Alpine HU in my car with stock bose speakers. Stuff I have that has been waiting to go in for 2 years.

1 4 Channel amp
1 2 Channel amp
1 12" Sub
Up front Polk 6.5" with 1" Tweaters
Back 6.5" Polk.

My question is, is there any sites that tell you how to run the rca jacks, wiring etc...? I am going to buy some monster cable and I have seen amp kits, but they are like 200 watt amp kits, I want to run good wires in case I decide to upgrad down the road all I would do is swap components out. Any help would be appreciated.

Im getting all my wires from http://www.knukonceptz.com I have heard great things about them on audio boards and they dont try to rip you off.

Good call on going with quality cables.. Unless you have $200+ to spend on wiring though, I'd check out reputable alternatives.
I think sounddomain.com may have decent selection, so does selectproducts.com. (at least they used to) I'd look for phoenix gold, streetwires, lightning audio.. etc..

Dang, I didnt even think of that, or know that you did that. I will definately let you know...

what kit should I buy? I want to mount the amps under the seats and bolt them through the floorboard.
