I just picked up a JBL 360w 4ch. amp. This is my first amp ever and I insist on installing it myself... how else will I learn? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

I already know hot to power, ground, and get signal to the amp. My question is, do I need to run speaker wire? I've searched for "wire" and "wiring" but the only topics that show up involve power wire & signal wire. So, is everyone using the factory speaker wiring? What's the easiest way to tap into it?

I would always recommend running your own wire....at least 16 gauge to speakers. Good luck with your wiring.

The rear speakers will be easy, but what path should I take for running wire from the amp to the front speakers. I'm assuming I shouldn't follow the power wire.

to get speaker wire to the front speakers from your amp, it would probly be best to run it on either side of the car on the door kick panels or through the center console cover, whicever is furthest from the power wires.

Running it with your power wire is fine..DOn't worry about that.. it's a high voltage signal with decent amperage..you won't get any noise..

So, power, remote, and speaker wire down the passenger side of the car, and RCAs and speaker wire down the driver side would be good?

Here's what I have now:

PG Shielded TP RCA Cables
4GA Power & Ground Wire
12GA Speaker Wire
16GA Remote Turn On Wire

Sounds good?
