running wires..

[Doug]

I was wondering if any one had any suggestions on wires for an amp. I dont really want to pull up all the carpet to run the wires from the battery and the headunit.. any one have any suggestions?

i just did my install about a week ago and i ran the rcas and the remote from the HU to behind the glovebox and then down the kick panel and along the door sill (underneath it), and then behind the interior panel (this is all on the passenger side.) i ran the power wire down the drivers side in the same manner, but when i got to the trunk area, i ran the power wire across the truck (behind the rear seats.)

you shouldnt have any problems. good luck

That is the exact same way I did mine. I've had no problems with it either.

I know it's a PITA but if you'll want to do it right the first time...... take some of the trim off and run it along the original factory wiring...... lots of work, I know but that's what I always do. At least later when I need to fix something or change it's so much easier to know that everything is in one place.

That's just me though,

thats pretty much the way i described. sorry if i gave a false impression...but keep one thing in mind, you dont wanna run your power wire right along with your rca's; youll get "interference."

I ran my wires through the small hole next to the driver side door, that the stock speaker wires run through, i took out the cigarette lighte so i could see where the wires are running and ran it through the back panel over the wheel well. Hope this helps!

I pulled out all my carpet and ran it alont the "hump" where the console is, ive got my breaker a foot from the battery thats 200 amps and one in the console thats 140, so i dont have to stop in the road when or if it breaks over to switch it back. I also ran it under the back seats too.
