Thinking the original wire is fine to run into the amp. I didn't go crazy with anything. Went JBL-gx-602 in the back door, MTX- Term69's in front. No subwoofer. It's a 60w per channel set up

I thin k the amp is gonna go under pass seat. It's the only place it wont get smashed with tools

The more power you are pushing past factory, the bigger the problem becomes. Factory wiring TO the amp is likely fine, upgrading the wire after the amp is a really good idea. You can hear the difference.

I agree unless it's high watts when my shop installed a big power system we ran all new wire.
