Running wires from amp to speaker?

I'm going to be running new speaker wire (Knu Knoceptz 12 Gauge) from my amp (in trunk) to my front speakers.

I'll probably be running my power cable down the passenger side and the RCA cables down the driver side. Where should I be running my speaker wire? Thanks in advance for the help!

Any harm in mounting the amp on the back of the car seat? I noticed it was slanted more than I would have liked. I'm slightly worried about the amp overheating.

i would run the speaker wire on the driver side and try to keep it as far away from the power wire as you can. mainly because its easier to just run both wires up at the same time. also if there is engine noise atleast you know its from the power wire.

Also, I'd run the signal cables down the passenger side rather than the drivers. You wont have to pass all the system wiring and fuseboxes which put out some nasty noises
