how/where are you guys running your HU wiring?
I'm getting ready to install an aftermarket HU/amp/sub and I was just wonder how you guys run your remote line and rca cables? In my old GTP I ran the power wire down the passenger side and the rca/remote wires down the driver side to cut down on interference. Since the battery is in the trunk I don't have to worry about running the power wire, so how are you guys running your wires from you HU to your amp? drivers side? pass side? down the center? I don't want any exposed wires, I don't have a problem with removing some panels.pulling the carpet up to make the install clean, just wondering if there's an easy/clean way to run them?

The power cable for your amp only needs to run to the battery in the trunk. I ran new speaker wires, RCAs, and remote down the driver side also. The power and ground for your amp is cake, since like i said, the battery is in the trunk under the cover. For your stereo remote wire there is a fuse in the passenger kick panel that will let it run even after the key is off and the doors aren't opened. I cant remember which one i used but i know it is there.

Even if you don't have a sunroof like me you can still put a fuse tap in on the sunroof fuse.

Probably should have updated this haha, I got everything installed a few weeks ago thanks guys!
The only snag I ran into was that the RCA cables for the sub made the Alpine HU too deep for the dash kit I got so I had to get some low profile right angle connectors to make everything fit in the dash.
