Hiding Wires

What's the best way to hide wires running from the dash to the trunk? Is it possible to run the wire through this column?

kinda but you cant go any further back than that column thats where i hid the remote starter wire for my alarm through their. Your best bet to hide wires from the dash to the trunk is to run them along each side of the car ie driver side for power wire. If your running new wire for speakers run that wire down each side of the door like front left speaker = driver side and front rigt = passenger side. You pretty much just hide everything under the carpet.

on my 2k max, i only had too lift the carpet once...and that was on the passenger floor board too go across..... but everything else. all the new speaker wire and 2 sets of RCas all fit under the plastic moldings all the way back....my carpet had like staples in it, on some plastic tabs and id assume not mess with it..... and the other side with 4 gauge wire and speaker wires..... no problems at all, just gotta make sure its not in the way of the clips....but theres plenty of room.

So I should just run the wires under the plastic moldings? But wouldn't you still see the wires?

no no no no. go behind your glove box, down that plastic corner there, (it pops off) then pop off the plastic door skirts you can only see with the door open, thru the pillar separating front door and back door, then under the back seat at the corner, into your trunk. done.

Yes, you can also run up the A pillar and across the headliner down through the c-pillar to the rear. Totally possible if that's the route you want to take.
