Default Rewiring car, mounting battery in truck, what else?

I'm planning on rewiring my speakers through out the entire car when I replace my carpet, and probably moving the battery to the trunk.

While I have everything ripped up, is there anything else I should do?

Yes, some sound insulation. I used a layer of RAAMMat and then 2 layers of http://www.secondskinaudio.com/noise...xury-liner.php

Second Skin's Damplifier is a little better than RAAMMat (see link in sig.) but more expensive as well.

One roll of RAAMMat will do almost exactly one layer, including the doors, and behind the sail panels. If you get foam (RAAMAudio's Ensolite or Second Skin's Luxury Liner), get 40 to 50 sqft if you just do the floor pan.
