Ok guys i've searched and scanned through the forums on here and I just can't find an answer for this. What's the best place to run and HIDE my amp wires from my trunk to my HU? All I need to run is my remote wire, RCA's, and my bass control. Thanks, Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW its a 07 SS with the pioneer 7 speaker audio.

I just ran all three right down the center of the car which is under the console and the back seat.

Was it a pain to run that way? Did you have to remove anything from the car other than the dash panels?

I just ran mine under the trim along the passenger side of the car, under the back seat and into the spare tire well

I did the same as Spun. You can run and hide the wires without taking anything out (cept some of the dash since you're redoing the H/U anyways).
Sneak em down through the dash from inside the H/U compartment, then along the underside of the dash down into the plastic door trim. You can then push it up into the trim and run it all the way to the back seats, and push it down and through the seats to the trunk.
You can pull up and away on the door trim if you need a bit of give and then snap it back into place. And always keep your power wires on the opposite side of the car from the Audio! You can get feedback/noise if you don't.

Ok thanks i've not got my HU in yet hopefully it should be here monday or tuesday but I did run my wires today like you said down the passenger side. I shouldn't have the problem with the feedback from the power wires since the battery is in the trunk should I?

some people say that if you run the power wire along side the rcas then the sub is fuzzy sounding casue of the interference. When i had my old car i can the power wire from the front of the car to the back taped to the rcas, and i didn't notice anything. Maybe this has more of an affect on higher wattage systems. But what im saying is that since the battery is in the back i wouldn't worry about interference becasue the power wire doesn't even need to be close to the rca's if you route the wire properly, and if it does you probably wont even notice.

but how does the power get to the battery? Run all that stuff on the passenger side of the car under the trim. Theres actually room for this as if chevy built it so you could run some extra wires

Yeah but there is one spot betwwen the front seat and the underside of the dash where it is just a pain in the a**. keeps poping out, olny about a half inch of the wire, just enough for my OCD to kick in.
If you have some one to help you, you'll notice a small hole on both sides (up near the front) of the trunk this goes through to the inside of the back panels, running it through here will avoid any tangles with seatbelts or the main power line from the battery to the front. Your going to want o put plastic tubing around the wires no matter where you puy them, contact with metal over periods of time can be deadly.
One more hint, if your remote bass wire is a phone cable (RJ-11), tape up the end before you start, saves you from bustin' that plastic piece off.
