i am installing my stereo in the truck this weekend and i am putting my 2 amps under the seats. So the question is which is the best way to run the wires from the deck to the amps...under the truck or under the carpet, cause I don't want the wires under the carpet if there is going to be a lump from them.

 

mine are under my carpet and you cant tell...

 

where did you put yours near? the door or in the middle?

 

my amp is under the drivers seat

 

why not run over your head on the roof? i dont think people will them there
also, i dont think the wires will be thick enough to cause a noticable lump. you could try to wire it at the corner of the hump in the middle

 

First Timer? Haha no worries...

I just installed a new pioneer dvd/amp under driver seat, and behind seat box w/2 12"s earlier today...It was a chevy, they are so much easier than our trucks!

There is a door seal beside your driver seat that runs the length of the doorway. It comes up! You cut a small hole under your seat, then take that seal off. Then run the amp wires over to the door, beside the edge of the carpet OR under the carpet that sits under that door seal. Run it back the same way to the subs, and forward to your firewall, through the hole in your firewall (will have to trim the rubber stop) and your clear! no lumps, and that plastic piece fits down snug enough to keep the wires from wiggling

 

Thanks, Cause I installing 2 amps...one for the sub under the pass. seat and the other amp under the driver for the mids and highs and i wanna make sure the power cable isn't near the patch cables or I may get a hum feedback.

 

I wouldnt mess with the headliner. Think it would be more work than necessary.

 

I'm not going near the headliner, The reason i was asking which way to go was cause one of my family members has a van and got water proof tubing to put his wires in under the van...But I think that is way to much work....I just wanna run them so it looks good.

 

the headliner would be more work but ive never really seen anyone do it so itd be a new place. the door seals are probably your best place. you could run the different wires on oppisite sides of each other far away so they dont interfere. or like i like said before, you could wire them in the central hump in the floor at the corner where people are less likely to see or step on them
