anyone with aftermarket system can u post pics of where u routed the rca cables and power cable to the amp from the battery thanks

 

I'm using a LOC in the back, so no RCA's. But I can help you with the primary wire. The best way to get it back is to remove your right front wheel and the rear section of the fender liner, it's held in with screws and is easy to do. Behind that you'll see a rubber grommet that you can poke a hole in and pass the wire into the area behind the passenger kick panel. From there just run it under the scuff plate and under the rear seat into the trunk. Piece of cake. I can try to dig up an old photo if you'd like - but that is the best, easiest, and safest way to get power back there.

 

thanks ill try that

 

If you run the power wire on the passenger side, the run the RCA's down the middle or on the driver's side. It's simple as that. Never run them in tandem. I'd use the driver's side because it has the channels along the side just like the passenger side. It also has a good place for a small amp/crossover in the space where the factory amps reside.

 

I just installed my Pioneer AVIC-D1 this weekend and ran the power cable down the passenger side. All the panels pop off easily and there's plenty of room for 4 gauge wire. You can remove the fender liner as mentioned and will see a big rubber grommet to run your wires through. Just be sure to use some split-loom tubing to protect your wires from that point on. I ran my RCA, remote turn-on, gps, and backup camera wires down the middle under the center console. I found that the entire stereo installation (head unit, and all speakers) was much easier than on other cars, everything is easy to take apart and put back together. Good luck.

 

where did u put the wires once u got to the back of the console?

 

I ran them under the carpet across the center hump, then under the back seat to get to the trunk. The entire center console comes out very easily.
