mount the amp under one of your front seats :) will solve alot of cable runs (or length of speaker cables) plus it might be a tad easier to do :)
Although, its always best to have equal lengths of speaker wire to each channel (standard practice for home hifi's due to impedances etc) although it might obviously be possible in some cases :(

Let me know how it gets on sassy, as im planning on doing this in the future and im thinking about installing amp in the glove box, just because its nice and easy, and saves on metres of speaker cable, but yea let me know :thumbs:

Best to run signal down the right hand side of the car as the rear loom is on the left hand side....

down left side with Pre-out wires from head unit, goe to left door through kick pannel, then round dash and into righ kick pannel. or be a clever git and mount your amps in the rear cards!
