Harder said then done. My carpet ends towards where I have to send the power wire through the firewall, wires will show. And tweeters flush mounting? I don't see how that's possible?

you have to run the wires thru the door boots like the stock wires or tap into the stock wires behind the deck and in the door it's self. as far as the power wires try to hind or cover them as best as you can .out of all the cars and trucks i've done over the years i've never seen it be that big of an issue .pics will help tho.

These things? http://www.wakemakers.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/300x300/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/1/6/16_awg_butt_connector.jpg how's that even work lol.

And another question, the inline fuse for the amp

Near the battery, there's nowhere on the firewall to install it with screws, can it just be loose in there or does it gotta be in place.

the connector is right , the inline fuse needs to be with in 18 " of the battery ,just zip tie it if you have to
