Hey guys, just wondering where everyone puts their wiring?

Im about to instal 1 sub and 2 amps into the boot and that means about 4 wires need to run from the boot to the front of the car..how do i go about covering these?

run them under the carpet, loom them with existing wires. Just make sure the RCA's are separate from the power cables

So 4 wires being? and going to front (dash or battery) dont use the carpet as wires underneath can be pinched or squashed (Even if Ford ran the loom for the premo CD stacker along the centre hump under the console). Use the cavity under kick panels along the sills and yes keep audio signals to the Left side and power to the right (battery) side. Some car audio RCA leads come with a remote power wire running with the audio signal wires, now thats a exception as theres very little current and being supplied clean power from the head unit. Now you dont really have to run a negative from the battery to the boot as a sound clean mounting point on the chassis is quite sufficient. Hope this helps with the 4 wires mate.
