I made a little more progress after work and chores today. Ran power feeds for both amplifiers:
Start with this rats nest:
Temporary power feed for sub amp:
Looking to mount double fuse holder around here:
I selected a new ground point for sub amp which is about 2ft away. It was grounded to the battery retention strap. While a very short ground wire run and convenient I didn't feel 100% confident in this solution. A mechanic monkeying with the car could mess it up. Now I don't need to worry about technicians reconnecting my ground wire after servicing the battery:
Now prepare the power distribution block. I am second guessing the use of cheap ferrules here. Will they hold?
To be continued...

Keep stringing wire and tying it down:
Two power feeds for two amps.
Tiding up wiring by following factory wire runs.
Power, ground, remote turn on, and signal run for sub amp:
Must run Power, Remote turn on, and signal from sub amp to main amp:
Extra cable slop for now. But, all signals run.
And finally the main amp ground wire:

GeO,
When using wire ferrules, I've always found it a good practice to use heatshrink tubing to keep the ferrule attached to the wire as an added precaution. You can also wrap tessa tape around the plastic portion of the ferrule and the wire. Whichever works best.

Did you try the industrial velcro?
So I screwed around some more today. Worked on my sub amp mounting scheme:
Bought some U channel aluminum extrusion to help hold my subwoofer amp.
The idea is to JB Weld the aluminum U Channel to the floor. The sub amp mounting board would rest in it. Hmm, what's that in the center?
Crap! It's a rubber access plug. Better not move forward until I understand what this is.

It's a drain hole, in case of flood. Sometimes we find it on the floor board. The driver/passenger steps on it but just didn't know as it's under the carpet/padding.
The one in the trunk is in case the hatch leaks.
Legacy item... everyone has a wet/dry shop vac these days.
