The way you do it is you run a main + power cable from the battery to a distribution block (the size of the cable will depend on the total watts you have) http://www.darvex.com/miva/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=D&Category_Code=DB then from the distribution block you run smaller cables to your components. For the ground you will want it to be as short as possible around 18 inches. What you will want to do is find a metal surface in your trunk sand it down to bare metal and attach a main ground cable. From that main cable you will run it to another distro block and then to your components (be sure to keep your ground as small as possible). Here is a general diagram of how your power cables should be hooked up http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/learningcenter/car/S-PCMLzGKeku6/amplifiers_wiring.html (This is using a capacitor, if you do not have a capacitor then just run the wire from the distribution block to the amp).
