how am i going to run my RCAs from the trunk to through the center console without letting the wires being seen? by going through the center console, wouldn't the RCA be shown between the center console and the rear seat? or will i be able to tuck the RCAs under the carpet once i have taken the center console off?

 

if youre going to take the center console out, you might as well take out your passenger seat and rear seat bottom. that way you'll have room to work and you can easily run the RCAs under the carpet through the center and under your rear seat to the trunk.

something like that shouldn't take you more than 2-3 hours your first time.

you wont need to remove the carpet. but you might need to pop off the plastic sill (on whichever side you took the front seat out) so you can get to the wire tracks that fcm mentioned.

its really not hard and you'll feel lots better about running the wires clean and out of site.

if you ask me the hardest part was taking out the center console
