if all else fails, find an area where there is no wires, drill a hole with a step bit, *****use a gromet**** and run it through that way. If your back seat doesnt fold down, use something like a stretched out wire hanger and feed it through the bottom corner between the seat and door. connect it to the end of the power cable with electric tape and spray a little windex on the cable and pull the wire hanger/cable through from the trunk. Installers use that method everyday. Hope this helps

Did you add an aftermarket radio to a factory bose or monsoon system? Or were you running that wire to an amp for your speakers? If you have a factory amplified system, you need to give the factory amp a remote turn on power just like an aftermarket amp.
