Question on routing amp power cable..
Ok, well I took a look at the car this weekend, and I have a couple questions regarding routing an amp power cable to under the driver's seat. I've decided that I'm going to be running RCA/+12v remote turn on/speaker wire along the driver's side trim, so that leaves power cable down the passenger side. Here's the big question.. How do you route the power cable from the passenger side over to the driver's side (is there a spot to go around the tunnel?)?
If you remove both seats, is there a place behind the seats where the power cable can be run behind the trim pieces? Or, can it simply be run under the carpet behind the seat? Also, is there a certain way you route the cable to get around the tunnel where the tranny is? I figured it'd be easiest to ask first before ripping things apart and trying to figure out where to run the cable. Any help or advice is very much appreciated!

This is where you run your power wire.

Thanks Rattlehead, didn't find that thread when I searched. So, I'm guessing by the looks of it that running wiring from one side of the car to another is easy once you remove all the panels? Wires can be passed from driver<->passenger side behind the glove box?
I decided on mounting my amp under the driver's seat (just a 2 channel amp for components), and running new speaker wire to each door. I was thinking of running 4 gauge wire to an 8 gauge splitter/distribution block by the passenger footwell (in case I want to add a sub later I can just run another 8 gauge to a 2 channel amp), but I'm leaning towards not getting a sub, so will proly just run 8 gauge.
Thanks for the link and great pictures!
