Wow, that sketch is really making some things click.

I can't remember now if some of the speaker wires up by the kick panel extended underneath the glove box and towards the head unit. My factory amp is definitely not hooked up/running. There seems to be wires going into it, but that "amp" wire is not plugged into its associated port. I know for a fact only four speakers in the entire care are playing - I'm not exactly certain how they are being powered whether it be directly through the head unit or indirectly through the head unit.

If I re-wired the car, what gauge wire would I need for the speakers if I want to cover my ass... maybe 12 gauge.What's a good brand? What is the gauge of the stock wire? Would the farthest that I have to run my speaker wires be to the front kick panel speakers?I really don't want to have to take the dash apart :-/

What gauge wire would cover me and then some on dual 10" subs?

According to your diagram, I don't think I currently have a ground cable... do I just drill a hole into metal and contruct one? Is there a certain or preferred spot?

I guess I am going to need a new amp lead or remote wire for my head unit to communicate with my amp?

One last thing, i did a search for wiring harnesses for my head unit (iva-d310) and this came up: http://www.uneeksupply.com/servlet/t...HARNESS/Detail

It said it is for the monitor... looks like the same type thing that is in my trunk next to my head unit's 'brain."

The search also pulled up this harness as well: http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/uneek..._D310_D300_w17

Are these the same wires as the ones in your diagram marked "Phono/RCA cable" ?

Do I need to get new wiring harnesses and re-wire them?

Apologies for the bombardment of Q's... I'm trying to figure this out asap so I can purchase the right materials.
