    Run a single length of 0awg through where the clutch would be , use a distribution block in the boot and alot easier to mount 1 fuse in the engine bay , what makes you believe you need 3 runs of 4awg ?
    Do you amplifiers have 300amps of current draw ?

    Ok first, bugger off the 10" sub, don't mix sub sizes, would probably even hurt your score in a comp, or a best just take power away from the two 12" which will be the ones making the score.

    Also unless your running the 6x9" on a HPF, than I would bugger them off too. 6x9" are basically 8" woofers, so again not needed with the 12"s there.

    Also you would be better off just running a single 0-gauge wire from the battery to the boot and using a distribution block from there.

    Clutch hole is best. Big hole and easy enough to get to.
