there is a tutorial somewhere bit the plastic door sills pull off and there is loads of room behind them, run them behind the interior pannels down each side of the car.

Running External Amplifiers?

First off, they need power. About 5 or 6 meters of power cable is long enough IMO. Run Power cable from Battery to your boot (assuming this is where amp(s) are being kept).

Remove glove box and run cable through the gromit behind here. Dont forget to fuse no more than 18" away from the battery. (see amp manual for fuse size)

Run power cable down left side of car. Remove trim under the door, and run power cable along here. 2 screwsd will need to be removed. Trim should clip back into place, will need to be hit a bit

run power cable into boot, then go back and tuck the cable under the 3/4 trim panel and down by the rear seats.

Run phono/RCA leads down otherside of car. This will stop interferance thorough you amplifier and speakers. Also run the Remote wire down this side. If you have no remote wire for some reason or another, use the ignition live. The Remote live is used just to 'switch on' the amps.

If you only have 1 pre out and want to run 2 amps
you can purchase a Y splitter. (example clicky) There are alternate ways, but this is easiest IMO. You can also run the amps in a daisy chain fasion, if there have a line out on. For this a shorter phono/RCA lead is required.

Wire the power cable and remote to the amp. Plug the phono/RCA leads to the input of the amplifer.

Make sure you have a good earth. I pulled back the carpet trim, sanded away the primer around a hole, and screw a terminal into this hole, obviously the terminal is connected to the ground cable. (if you have a second batt and arent earthing to chasis, make sure earth is SHORTER than the power feed.)
