I'm currently in the process of installing the JVC CS-BB2 subwoofer underneath my driver seat but am having some difficulty figuring out how to route my power, RCA, and remote wiring inside the center console. My main question is how do I get the wiring from the back of the center console down to the bottom of the seat?

In the pictures below you can see how I routed the gray RCA wire from the headunit location (pic 1) underneath through the shifter area into the e-brake location (pic 2) and further back coming out of the opening (pic 3). I want to get the wiring from pic 3 down to underneath my seat. What's the best way to do that? Should I not even be going through the center console like I"m trying to do?

I ran mine from the back of the HU, under the carpet, under the door sill kick plate, then back out behind the seats. (Then continued through to the trunk, but your not going there.)

 

I would just run it out from the rear of the head unit directly under the carpeting on the drivers side floor, along the tunnel and then over and out directly under the seat. There is a trim piece directly on either side of where the radio sits. It is held in with one screw and a few clips. If you remove the one on the driver's side, you can get under the carpet right there.

Read page six of the OEM CD changer instructions to see how to run your wire exactly as they do for the changer. All you have to do is not go all the way to the trunk, and come out under the seat instead. Here is the manual:

The reason I wouldn't go near the drivers door sill with it is because the entire wires harness to the trunk runs there. You may pick up some noise from those wires.

 

Hmmm... I'm thinking running it under the carpet is a better approach.

 

if you've already run the wire through the center console, if you take off
the rear vent panel behind the seat, you can grab the wire(s) and either
drop them down right there, or bring them to the side of the car and down
through the rear side trim.
