Looking good man! What make/model speakers are you running in the front? For an average 2 or 3 way component speaker system in the front seats you would wire a single amplified run (from the head unit or a remote amplifier) to a crossover near the front doors. The crossover separates the amplified signal into different frequencies for each speaker. From the crossover you have individual speaker wire runs for the low and/or mid range door speakers and the tweeters on each side. For the rear speakers, a lot of care stereos use coaxial 2/3-way speakers which only require 1 speaker wire run. The speakers handle all of the frequency separation with capacitors mounted onto the back of the speakers.Originally Posted by chevynut
Also, since I'm not that familiar with audio systems I ran separate wires from the tweeters and speakers to the stereo....only to find out they need to be connected together. I thought they took separate wires. I could have saved a bunch of wire by splicing them together before running them to the console.
I tried to run the wires to the rear speakers and found out that I didn't have long enough pieces left so I had to order more. I also need to add a wire to trigger the backup camera which I realized after looking at the owner's manual more closely. That's all that's left to complete the stereo wiring.

Below is an example setup of what I recommend on a budget.

AMP - ROCKFORD FOSGATE PRIME - (I always match the amp to the impedance and power requirements of the speakers purchased)
And if you ever want to install a sub, do yourself a favor and get a kicker 10" square L5 or L7. It sounds excellent for every genre of music.. It does very well with sustained bass and punchy notes simultaneously.
