I've done alot of stereo install's through the years, including doing the one in my max. For the max, I ran a 4 guage wire from the battery to the trunk, into a power distribution box. From there I run a short 4 guage wire to my 1300W monoblock amp, and an 8 guage wire to my 700W 4ch amp. For the front speakers, I find it best to leave the stock wiring alone, and run wires from the trunk, along the passenger side of the car right up to the front, then running the drivers side wire up in behind the dash to cross over to the speaker in the drivers side door. For the back speakers I just run short wires inside my trunk directly from my amp to the speakers.
One really big thing to watch out for, don't run your audio wires alongside your power wires, always run them on separate sides of the car. If you must run a signal wire over your power wires, do your best to make sure it crosses perpendicular to your power wire, as this will cause the least electrical interference. My personal preference is to always run power wires on the drivers side, and signal wires along the passenger side.
