Depends where the wire is running to and from mate! :suave:
In case of power/ wires from the engine bay which has exposure to heat; :uhoh:

In case of power/ wires from the engine bay which has exposure to heat; :uhoh:
- use plastic conduit a bit larger then the power cable all the way in side the engine bay, and secure with cable ties; use correct lug connections and ensure the connections are secure;
- ensure you apply solder, followed by heat shrink over to avoid short circuits; behind radio and to speaker terminals; use at least 14 - 16 gauge wire for installations;
- use cable ties to tidy up wires behind the head unit so that wires and RCA's are all neat and secure;
- ensure you use correct size power / ground distribution blocks from the battery to the amplifier(s);
- ensure that all connections are safe during installation and no frayed wire is touching the other terminal;
- check correct speaker / subwoofer connection to the speakers and the subwoofer input terminals;
- check subwoofer input terminal to confirm strong connection;
- secure your subwoofer box in the trunk area so that it does not move and hit your amplifier which could cause wires / ground to loosen;
- remember, power travels from negative to positive, hence the 12v negative ground theory so make sure you have good grounding point;
Cheers!

In my last 2 vehicles, the decks both had wiring issues. They would be fine for about a year, then randomly play on either the left side or right side. Only after about an hour or so would both left and right sides of the car play together. Maybe I should have labeled this as a deck wiring issue?

Signal flow should be HU to DSP to amps. You would lose the ability to EQ and time align the sub with the DSP unit if you bypassed the DSP.
