What's the current draw of your new HU and the rating of the car's fuse for the power wire to the radio. If your car's wiring can handle it, you don't have to run a wire to the battery. If you are already doing that for an amp, it won't hurt anything to supply the HU more juice.

Doors if it is dry, behind the kick panels, under the dash, in the trunk, etc. Mounting them in the doors has the advantage of only running one speaker wire to the door or using the existing speaker wire. If you mount them anywhere else, you have to run both mid and tweeter wires into the door. Not always fun to do.

Once you have at least a budget and the amount of space you are willing to give up for your sub(s), then we can offer suggestions.
