also, if running multiple amps, get a distribution block. i've set up and run 2 amps and a crossover before without a distribution block and it's NOT fun. you have to criss cross wires everywhere. using a distribution block is awesome. i was able to prewire everything before hand. had my amps, crossover, and dist. block all mounted to a piece of plywood and ran different colored wires to identify what was what easily. even went as far to take the staple gun and VERY CAREFULLY staple the wires to the board. have to hover that staple gun above the wire so it just barely makes it into the board, but enough to hold the wire in place.

stapling the wires down saved me a LOT of headaches. i've made many trips with my blazer fully loaded with furnature, boxes, etc. i was taking a 2 1/2 hour drive each way every weekend for about 6 weeks, so i wasn't about to remove the stereo from the car. i'd drop the back seat, slide the subs and amp board all the way up, and load my car. if the wires on the board weren't secured, i'm sure they would've gotten ripped out numerous times. no fun to have a live piece of wire hitting your amps, or even worse....you.
