Where to run wires....
Well as some of you know, I got my system. I just have to install it. I have to order my amp install kit still, but I had a couple of wiring questions. I think I am going to go through my firewall in the same spot I put my angel eyes through... then I want to go along the dash and run the wires along the driver'* side flooring. How do I take off those plastic pieces that connect to the carpeting? Also, how to I get into my trunk from there... there are going to be quite a few wires running through there (power, audio RCA cables, remote turn on, gain controll)? Thanks for any help, and pictures would help even more!

Make sure you run your power on the opposite side of your RCA and speaker wires, you can get interference from the power cables. You can get the wire into the trunk where the backrest and bottom of the back seat meet, the wire will come into the trunk in the corners. As for the trim along the doors you need to be VERY cautious. I just pulled mine back a little so that I could get the wire through.

I was thinking of it like this:
Driver - RCA and remote gain
Passanger - power and remote turn on
Thanks!
