lol, yeah, the wire needs to be completely shielded and it shouldn't be bare *anywhere*. if it touches a piece of the metal on the car it will arc and things wont be pretty for your electrical system. also need to make sure there is a proper ground from the amp to somewhere on the body/frame of the car. I sanded all the paint off down to the metal around a bolt in the trunk and attached an O ring connector to it for the ground cable.

as for the rear sound stage, i had 2 10" Type R's in the back of my mustang with 500w/ea. it was just far too loud for rear speakers to even matter. i had the rear speakers in there at first and i ended up just taking them out because they couldn't be heard.
