You can tuck the wires along the side of the center console and then find a cut in the carpet where the seats are so you can run the lines under the carpet to the back.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot tonight.

My amps are going on the passenger side, so the 20ft speed wire isn't enough to run along the driver side. I need to run through the floor console. Has anyone got tips on doing this? it seems a bit tight, trying to fish it through the back of it.
When you pull the seats, the carpet behind the driver and passengers front seats will lift up easily. On the left and right of the center console, there's a 10mm screw on both sides (up by the gas pedal) . Take that panel off and you should have enough access to run some fish tape through there (under the carpet) to behind the center console. Then just pull your speed wire back through. You could try from rear to front but the front portion is tighter so you are going to have trouble guiding the fish tape. If you don't have fish tape, a coat hanger will work. Just make sure you bend of the tip so you don't poke anything.

That sounds good. I don't have fish tape, but the coat hanger is my friend, lol. I'll take the console apart a bit more, & give it a try.

Once you bend the tip of the hanger wrap it with electrical tape so the point is covered. That will make it easier to pull through.

Got the wires run through the console last night. Gonna pull the rear seat out after work, and finish running them under the carpet to the back. I have Friday off work, so I can work on it a bit later than usual.

Finally got it all together. Been a long process, since I only get about 2 hours to work on it after work every day. But it was worth it!

Looking good. That sub is pretty impressive for the cost isn't it?

Thanks. Ya, it thumps pretty good. Doesn't take much to rattle the rear view mirror!
