So I pretty much finished the install but my other amp didn't show up so I couldn't hook that up or hook the deck speakers up. Here are some pics. This being my first car audio install ever, I think I did pretty well. I plan to post up some more pics on how I connected the grounds/power to the battery since KnuKonceptz set screws are very thick. To me, it's a pretty damn clean install and I'm pretty proud of myself - especially figuring out the problems along the way and figuring out a pretty decent way to connect the power/ground to the battery.
The other amp should be here Monday. I've run the power, ground, remote, and speaker wire and I plan to mount the amp the bottom of the deck. I used a channel on the bottom of the deck to run the wires so they are completely hidden.
I bought a cheap ($50 shipped to my door) sealed sub box which was the smallest amount of cubic feet allowed for my subs. The box isn't great and I know those Pioneer subs aren't top of the line, but I put some Polyester fiber fill in the box and it sounds better than the $150 ported box I had before - which also didn't slide in under the rear deck. The subs seem to hit harder and tighter which is expected due to the sealed enclosure but I really expected the subs to sound crappy because of the box - luckily I was wrong and they sound awesome. I also bought such a small box so I can access the spare tire and mount the amp/speakers on the rear deck.
Btw, the amp is mounted to the back of the rear seat. I also clipped the excess of the zip ties so it doesn't look like crap.
More pics to come:
