Default 5g system wires question

how hard is it to run the sub wires to the back? Im talkin remote turn on, rca's, and some 4 gauge.

Im looking at all the same panels down the right side that i pulled off in my civic and im not seeing screws and shit to take em out with ... and im assuming they dont just pop off. Someone please advise.

Just run em right down the middle. I know what you're saying though cause when I had my 4th gen civic, I ran the wires down the sides too. But it's so much easier to run em down the center. That's my recommendation.

Be sure to run your RCA's and power wire away from each other.

i would just keep it on the sides, there's no reason to run anything down the middle...that just makes it more confusing! on my cord thats how i ran it.....

The cars' wiring is down the sides - very easy to pick up noise when you run your power and RCAs next to it. The best is power and remote down one side of the hump in the middle, RCAs down the other. If you must cross your cars wiring, try to cross at a 90 degree angle... avoid running parallel to them.

Somebody finally feels me :cheers:

Running the wires down the sides is also more work cause you have to deal w/those panels and crap. Just do like he and I said and you'll be fine and won't have a headache after it's all said and done.
