Where did everyone run their wires?
I am finally going to do the install this weekend. I have a couple of questions. How did most of you run the wires from the HU to the amps (I am having two amps under the seats). Also, where did u run the speaker wires to the speakers and to the subs. I saw some pics that people ran wires through the center console but I wasn't sure how they did it or if there are any other options.
I am just looking for suggestions so that I won't be stuck looking for places to run the all wiring since I am going to have a lot.
Btw, this is an all FUSION system, expect for one amp and subs (but that should change by next month). All the wiring and dis. blocks, etc. are all FUSION. I will be sure to take pics of the install and post them.
Thanks for the help.

Third generation? I found the easiest for me was to remove the glove box, route behind it, and then down to the door sills. Pull the sills and route underneath the carpet.
Through the console is not that bad, the cover around the emergency brake handle can be pulled up and toward the dash to remove. The same can be done with the trim around the shift and the cupholders. On the rear of the console behind the armrest compartment is a panel that can be removed with a flathead. Between these three you have most all the routing area open. Drop the RCA's down from where you have removed the radio, fish under the front map compartment and then route around the shift and brake, and then out to either side under the seats.
Either way will work. Make sure you install so no cables are nicked as you put back together, and watch out around the shift and the brake.
As if you need more-
Good Luck and Enjoy the process! A Great way to get to know the car....
