Default Engine Bay Wiring

Is it necessary to run wire from Positive battery post to alternator? Does anyone have picture of engine bay that can illustrate the wiring that is necessary to provide power and ground? I would also like to know what Amp wiring kit is best for a dual amp installation. I don't want to buy a kit that does not have enough wire to route from engine bay to the amp directly behind seats. Thanks.

Not very powerful. One 300 watt soundstream to power my stealthbox and another 300 soundstream amp to power my front and back speakers. I don't think this system will be too demanding.
