I'm not completely done with the install yet. I still have to put my 6.5" mid-range speakers behind the door panels, so the component set is only halfway installed at the moment. I also want to clean up some of the wiring in the trunk. You can see a list of my equipment in my signature.
Let me start by showing you some pics of a few of my car audio electronics before the install.
12" Infinity Kappa Perfect Sub and box with Stinger 12 ga speaker wire

Now to some of the install.
Here you can see my 8 ga power wire and in-line 60 amp fuse.
I ran the power cable down an existing hole in the engine
compartment. The whole was perfect for the 8 ga wire.
You would need to drill it larger to fit 4 ga or bigger through
the hole though.
Here you can see the power wire comes out in the driver's side wheel well and then
goes in through a hole i drilled through the firewall.
The power and amp remote wires running down the drivers side.
My sub, box, and amp. I put velcro on the underside of the amp so that it stuck to
the carpet on the box.
Closer view of the amp on top of the box.
A side view of the amp with the power and speaker inputs as well as my capacitor mounted to the box.
The other side of my amp with the rca cables. They're 17 ft cables. I used to have a pioneer
aftermarket headunit and had to run the rcas all the way down the car to the headunit.
One is a Stinger Expert series and the other is a cheap Sosche rca cable.
Driver's side tweeter mounted to the dummy cover.
Passenger side tweeter mounted to the dummy cover.
I couldn't get the tweeter's to mount completely flush on the dummy cover because of how the cover is angled. I mounted my component crossovers under the driver and passenger side dash using velcro. I like to use velcro when possible instead of needlessly drilling holes in everything.
