i like the your sedan best way back when you had the black coupe 19's.. and your new front..? is it painted already..? looks like a totally different color than the rest of your car.....

Quick update. I'm starting to run the wires. I figured I have plenty of wire so might as well put it to use. Rather than do a single run of power cable from batt to trunk and ground somewhere in trunk....or even do a full run of each like the occasional people do...I figured to do two full runs of each. One for each amp.
I'll also be replacing the Odyssey PC 1200 with a redtop group 35 and throwing the Odyssey in the trunk with a Yellowtop group 35. I was gonna use a Batcap 3000 up front and 2000 in the rear but I don't have that much money for batteries, even with my sponsorship pricing, so unfortunately I had to go with Optima cos I got sponsored by them as well....probably order those batteries in a couple weeks.
Here's some progress pics...
80 ft of 4 awg wire:
Gonna run the wire on the passenger side. Grommet slit open to get all the wire in:
Got one in and one out:
Tinned Copper Ring terminals:
A little techflex and heat shrink to make it look all purrdy:
All four wires in and out:
Will update as I get more done, taking a little lunch break.

Alright...finished everything up. It was quite simple running the rest of the wire and I had no troubles with it. Just snapping on some of the last pieces was a lil difficult, but then I realized I was doing somethin wrong...after that, it was a cinch.
Since I'm going to be swapping the battery I figured I'd leave some slack for the wires. All I could find was some latex gloves..then I found some electrical tape and wrapped it around (not pictured is the electrical tape).
Progress of running all 4 wires
Time to head to the trunk and find that opening
Fed one through. Then zip-tying them and pulling through made it much easier.
Putting everything back together and taping off the opposite end of the wires with electrical tape.
