Calvin, you can run the speaker wires down each side of the center console.
Remove the little "knee pad" looking things beside and behind the radio. Pull out the "button clips" that hold the center console cover on each side. Run the wires up and under the console cover, replace the button clips when done. At the rear near the seat back, you can snake the wires up and under the carpet (which is velcroed) to the area behind the rear panels.
You'll need to remove the radio door and pull out the radio. Hopefully, you also ordered the rear speaker harness.

Are you using the stock deck or an aftermarket deck? If you are using the stock deck, get Lucid's rear speaker harness to get at the rear outputs.

If you are using an aftermarket deck, then what xviper said.

god damn !@!@?@?

I only managed to put in the panels and speakers. I tried to take out some of those button clips along the center console but they're such a bitch. I even managed to break one I must have swear and curse with no end in sight.

So I haven't run the wires from the rear to the front yet

Is there an easy way to take out those clips????????????????

There is a special tool you can get at Canadian Tire to pull these guys out - it's called a panel puller. I have one but some of the plugs on the console are at such a strange angle, I could not use it and ended breaking a couple also. It costs about $17, but don't rush out just for this.

I used a small size pry bar. It's like a screw driver but bent at the end. Got it at Crappy Tire in a set of 4 different sizes. It worked like a charm. Or you can get a dandelion picker and bend the end in a large vise.

I sure heck don't see the screwdriver u're talking about in the picture, do u? I dont' remember seeing that either in the same set I got. If I'm right, it's the one that looks like a pitch fork but it's bent at the end.

Guess I'll just go get one

I guess I'll find out

I have the Kenwood KFC-P603 separates sitting in the basement. hopefully the speaker will fit with no issue. Same with the tweeters, hopefully it will fit in the same stock location.
