at the top of the sound system threard there is the wiring chart for the exa so that will solve all your problems, and really it is easy as because you are using just amps you will not need to bother with the speaker wires from the head unit so all you need to hook up is the ground (to any part of the chasis), the remote (wiring diagram will help) and also the power, again the wiring diagram.

for the rest of the setup you will need to run power cables from the battery to your amps, this can be done through a hole in the firewall behind the carpet at the passengers feet under the dash. you can then run the power cables either up the passenger side or through the middle, just make sure you run your rca's down the right hand side to keep em away from the power lines. i used to have my amp for my front speakers under the passenger seat then ran the cables to the speakers through the middle, (again away from the power wires but not as imperitive) up under the dash through the door to the speakers. then all you have to do is mount the rear amp and sub box, get the power to them, then run the speaker cable to the rear 6*9's under the seats and through into the side panels which is easy as because the little plastic pouches in the arm rest come right out and give you easy access!!

that is just a brief run through, but i suggest you find a mate who knows a bit about electrics to give you a hand because it can be tricky in places. the best way to start is to get your head unit in then draw out a plan where everything is going to go, the distances between everything, and work out how much wiring you will need and everything before you start.
