Default 2012 Scab amp locations and lenght of 4gauge wire

I am still waiting for my truck to get here and wanted some advice on where to mount the amp and how many feet of a 4 gauge wire will i need? I have everything else ready to go. BTW does anyone know the ohms and wattage the stock speakers are? I am planning on using the amp to power them instead of the HU. If it works and sounds good then I can save a buck or two! if not I will replace them with some great ones. I live in the wilderness and really don't want to have to stop the install to go get another couple feet of wire!!!

My kit came with 17" and I used all of it. I did have a little bit of extra length but I kept it in the system so I'd have spare in case I need it in the future. I have the screw though.

Here's my setup: https://www.f150forum.com/f30/subs-my-screw-140339/

Nice setup, done very well! Thanks for the info, if 17' made it on the Crew it will make it on the Scab, I think it is 1 foot longer than the Scab. I doubt I will have that kind of room behind my seats and I have read that you can't tilt them forward like you can on the Crew. So I am interested if anyone has put the amp in or about the same location on a Scab and if there is about the same room behind the seats? You won't have any problem with overheating in that location.
