Power leads for my back up camera are short, should I tap into something on the rear lights or run them to the seats in the trunk (where my amp and power distribution block is)

You can run them to the rear lights if you want. It's fairly simple to do.

I'd have to extend it even to reach the tail lights. If I am going to extend it I feel the easiest option is to tap into the distribution blocks, is there any issue in using that?

Is this for power or to trigger the camera on?

Distribution block should be fine. Just make sure you have a fuse in line.

Camera tested and working, making the connector was fun!
Have to mount and hide the wire clean

Opinions on the best 6x9 speakers for under $200? I need a new pair after one of my Polks blew.

I was thinking about maybe the Focal Access 690CA1 SG or the Soundstream SST 6.9. Anyone with experience with either of those?

Focal makes great stuff, but the access is the low end of their line up. At that point, you're just paying for the name. Here's the advice I give everyone when it comes to speakers. Listen to the speakers in your price range and buy whatever sounds best to you.

Why doesn't Bose make systems for our cars? Those snobs, I'd love to put a Bose system in my car...after I sell my kidney on the black market.

That's because Bose sucks. Ask Tim his feelings about Bose.

So since my amp is 300w RMS and my sub is 350w RMS, does that mean I can set the amp to "max" rather than "normal" (assuming its not clipping)

Acura RSX's came with a Bose audio system. I don't think they're worth a kidney though.

If you're talking about your input gain, you need to set it according to the output voltage of your head unit.
