Newb questions part 2

[wokeupquick 10+ year member]

Alright a couple of new questions:

1. What do you guys recommend I split loom?

2. What should I zip tie throughout the entire car?

3. I have a sedan, and after I hide the wiring under the carpet, how do I get it through to the trunk and still have the wires hidden? Do I have to take out the seats?

4. I actually bought a new wiring kit, the KOL-AK4 kit from KnuKonceptz; will I need to crimp anything or do all connectors with this kit use screws? Earlier I was told to use a razor blade to strip the wires, any other suggestions?

Car is a '99 Mazda 626. Thank you.

1: Split loom the power and ground wires, or better yet use tech flex on everything, power, ground, speakers.

2: If you are looking for a real clean install then zip tie all the wiring too.

3. You will need to remove at least the rear seat cushion, depending on your install you may need to remove the front seats too and the center console. It wll depends on how extensive your install is.

4. I'm not familiar with that kit so I don't know what it comes with, connectors, terminals, etc.

I've removed my back seat several times and the rocker trim, and I still haven't finished my entire installation yet. I need to remove my front seats and part of my center console for the rest of the installation including sound deadening for the floor.
