i got my widow busted cus sumbody saw my wires going to my back seat whats the easiest way to get them under my carpet?? and to the trunk???

easiest way to hide your amp wires ofcourse is the carpet. Just take the panel off thats at the bottom of the door jamb, and pull it back, should give you enough room to run your wires, you will have to be a little creative to get them around your trunk and gas tank release, but they will hide. Run them down low like that to your back seat, then pull any panel you need too to get the wires around your back seat and into the trunk. Im guessing you have a 4dr so I don't know anything about the back. Just run your wires under the carpet all the way to your amp, cut 1 hole in the carpet(you don't have to cut the hole completely out, you can leave it flapping there if you ever plan on taking the amp out, or moving it, or whatever) get you some spacers to raise you amp up just a little bit to give the wires room to run out from under the amp. That will give you a nice and clean look while keeping your wires hidden from jackasses.

yeah its a 4 door, so do the panels pop out easily or do u gotta be really careful? my beretta they have screws holding them but not the case here

yeah, hide all of that shit under the carpet. Then go one step further and secure it all to the car. In my accord I took my amps and mounted them to the back of the backseat with very rare bolts that the average person doesn't have a bit to get them off. And they're mounted to the back of the backseat, very hard to get to... Then I did the same with my box, anchored it to the inside of my trunk with the same screws, then screwed my subs into the box with those screws as well. If someone wants my shit, good luck!

yea, they should just pop out with a little bit of effort, just get a flat head screwdriver and pry a little on it, should pop out. And ofcourse bolt your stuff down, if he would have read everything I said, i did mention bolting your stuff down. lol

Just a note, if you can avoide removing the plastic from the seatbelt piller for the front seats, do it. Pain in the ass to get back on lol

[Tony]

Shouldn't have to completely remove the B Pillar panel, just pop it loose enough to get the carpet loose.

I just mounted my amp under my front passenger seat. Really easy and hidden.

That also don't let your amp breathe like it needs to either, unless its a really small amp. Back of the back seat is a good spot to mount an amp, thats where I had mine, makes it easy for you to get to. And if you wanna do like Kicker and get "special" bolts, see what you can do about finding some Tamper-proof Torx bolts. Not everyone has the bits to get those out unless they work on all aspects of cars all the time. Its just a torx head with a little extra piece coming up the middle so your torx bit will have to have a hole drilled in it to take it out.

Never had a problem with mine overheating. It's a 900 watt Rockford Fosgate amp.
