ive just got a corsa sri, and the 6x9s are amped by an amp which is in the boot, mounted to the back seat. the front speakers are just running off the head unit. there will be a sub and another amp going in soon, so should i :

1) run wires from the amp from where it is to the front comps and amp them, and leave 6x9s running from head unit for now

or

2) move the amp to somewhere in the front, then its closer to the front speakers, and amp the front speakers from there?

no need to move the amp man!!
its got good ventalation in the boot compared to anywere else in the car you could put it were it could overheat and go into protection mode!

so just run wires from the amp to the speakers, nothing worng with doing that, just use a good thick suitable wire and make sure the watt/rms rattings are suitable between the amp and speakers

theirs only a few ways of wiring it really.... under the carpet running straight to the back, requires to take out car carpet so not worth the hassle... or like most people do under the door sills, they unscrew easily, then under the seat to the boot, obviously tuck it in nice and neat

remmeber keep POWER and SOUND cables separate!!!!

take off the rear quarter panels, then the boot side panels, if you have rear speakers already in the car, it will be a bit easier, but u may make ur hands bleed like i did
