routing amp wires

Hey guys I think i have a basic idea of how i plan to route my wires for my amp but would like to hear some suggestions from people who have been through it and make a better plan. just some of the questions i have are:

I have an 06 Screw
How did you route your power cable from battery to behind back seat?
Where did you mount your ground?
How did you route your RCA's from HU? and how long was the cable you used?
Any tips or tricks that you learned in hindsight?

I have a 2gauge power cable that I plan to run to a 1-4 distro block. Still debating going with 2 amps (components and sub) or just 1-5 channel amp. Any ideas for these amps ( I seen someone with 2 alpine v12 and really liked that setup).

Thanks in advance, I know the questions I asked might have been covered before but i was unable to find clear answers for my questions.

i need to get some pics. for the power cables i ran them back behind the battery and down the back side of the fender skirt. on the inside of the steps on my screw there are drain plugs in the cab along the bottom. i pulled one out and fished my power cables thru there. then out at the back where they go into the cab via the rear drain plug. as for the speaker wiers they run along the door sills on the backside away from the other wiring. the rca's run under the center console.
