I'm running new wire from my amp to my front components. So the amping part is all taken care of.
The only I do not know how to do is to wire up the rear speakers using the new headunit so they will run off the headunit power.
Just learning.

ok, just run new speaker wire from the rear output of the head unit( the green and purple sets) straight to the rear speakers.

thank you!
I honestly think I was over thinking it, but I needed advice from someone who has more experience then me.

you will probably waste a lot more wire doing things my way because i like to run all my wires in the same bundle and encircle the whole car and as i get to a spot where i need to send a wire i just branch it off from my main bundle and continue running the rest of what i need. i picked up this method from installing high end security systems in big industrial and retail buildings.
i keep it in a single harness because is stops you from having a massive amount of wires running everywhere and if you have a problem than you know exactly where to go.
run your power wire and speaker wires on the drivers side of the car and run your RCA's on the passenger side, keep the RCA's away from other wires as much as possible to avoid picking up noise.
earlier you mentioned something about you wanted to run your front speakers "all active". do you know this means that you will run your component mids on one set of channels and your component tweeters will be running on the other set of channels from your aftermarket amp?
you also never answered me about what you will be using as a crossover to filter the sound in your front components? this is very important because if you dont do this the right way you will blow your speakers.

I wire about the same way you do. Less clutter. Cleaner look.
Thought about running my RCAs down the middle so I can have everything else around it.
I'm going to be using my amp to set the crossovers. I have a X4R.

running RCA's up the middle is usually more trouble than its worth but theres nothing wrong with that if thats what you want to do.
if you use the amp's crossovers then you have to make sure it will go high enough to filter anything below the recommended frequency response of your tweeters. if your amp wont do that then you need to buy an active crossover to filter the signal.
