Default Wires under the carpet

What do you guys use to hold down wires under the carpet? Or do you guys just let the carpet keep it in place?

It depends on where under the carpet, but I didn't use anything to hold my wires down. I cable tied them together every 10 inches or so and placed them on the side of the car under the carpet (on the side, not the floor). You can use tape to hold them down if you're worried about it, but I don't think they'll move under the carpet

Since I have MASSIVE amounts of cables under my carpet, I don't bundle my wires: I lay them flat next to each other and keep them down with duct tape...

The drivers side door sill will accomodate 0-gauge power cable and remote wires. This is in addition to the wires already occupying that space. The passenger side door sill will hold roughly two 0-gauge cable runs. The center tunnel is somewhat cramped, but the gist is that there is quite a bit of space for cable. If you run out of room, pull the seats and run it under the carpet

Right now my speaker wires and monster cables are run under the carpet and no tape is being used to secure it. I'll try using the door sill on the passenger side. That sounds easier than using the tunnel.

Door sill. 4 guage power and remote turn on lead on the driver's side. Speaker wires on the passenger side. RCA cables in the center tunnel. The carpet on the door sill is tight enough not to let the wires fall to the floor.
