Im installing my system this weekend and have a few quick questions...
1. Do i run the remote wire along with the power wires or the speaker wires?
2. I took out the stock sub amp now theres going to be an open hole in the parcel shelf. Will it effect the sound in anyway, or should i just put it back in there to cover up the hole?
3. Where should i get my amp wiring kit from? Would the ones from Jaycar be alright quality?
4. I am replacing the stock sub with a jaycar sub, from what i gathered from other posts you should make a spacer about 10-15mm to put below the standard sub bracket to get enough clearence? Is that how others did this?

1. Preferably with the power wires if possible. 2. If mounting a sub in the parcel shelf you will want to isolate the rear of the sub from the front as much as possible to prevent phase cancellation. Either put the sub amp back in, or use some mdf, anything really. It helps to cover as many holes as possible. 3. Pretty much any wiring kit will do based on the power needs required. Jaycar kits are ok for most DIY projects. Just do the math on the power ratings and select the suitable kit. 4. Yes this is exactly how others have done it. You need the spacer so the sub magnet doesn't hit the top of the fuel tank. Just make sure you secure it well.

I would definately recommend Stinger products, but not in kit form. My personal preferance is to purchase what is required, i.e 6 mtrs of RCA lead, and put the RCA's on seperately. With kits I have used in the past, there just isn't enough length to go round.

I literally just broke an RCA from a Stinger Kit, but will be getting new Stonger RCA leads to replace with.
Anyway, with the hole in the parcel shelf, dont put the original sub back in, because as the atmospheric pressure changes from the new boxed subwoofer in the boot, it will cause the original (even disconnected) to pump up and down, and thus alter the atmospheric balance that the active subwoofer is creating (this goes for the rear speakers as well, they should be boxed for utilamtely the best sound).
I would use MDF and create a plate to cover the holes in the parcel tray.
