Todd,
You can run the wires down both sides, but I have found the drivers side somewhat easier. This is a good tool to snake it thru.
Later coaches did not use the common ground in the speaker system. The rear speakers are actually pretty useless being that they are so far back, I would suggest a new set of speakers in the under the cabinets and a replacement along the side panel by you feet next to the front seats. I would not use the factory speakers if your looking for good sound. I did use the drivers side 4” speaker for the CB.

I also added a subwoofer under the couch for a little added punch.

Another trick is in a 4 speaker system is to reverse the rear speaker wiring, called cross firing and it will give you a more equalized full sound. I know that Jim B. does this on systems he has put in coaches.
