Best place to run pre amp and spkr wires?

Hello All!

I have a 04’ MCS, MC40 edition, 8/1000. this car only came with the base system and I am putting together my shopping list which will upgrade all speakers, HU (7” dvd in-dash) as well as a nice amp. My big question is what is the best way to run the pre amp signal from the HU to the amp and the speaker wires from the amp back to the HU?? I have looked at countless post on this and on mini2 and see elaborate installs but none really showed the best way to run those wires back and forth, any help would be much appreciated. I am thankful to have found this website as its been a huge help so far in my quest to pull off this DIY

Thanks!!

Hi

I will be most likely mounting the amp in the boot as the battery is there. i am looking for the easiest, yet cleanest way to run the wires back and forth from the amp to the HU

there is a chance i might do under the seat but that is a slim chance

lastly, is there by chance the signal and speaker wires pre run in the car?

i noticed some connectors not hooked up in the rear cubby hole on the pass side

Thanks!

oh okay well if you look in my gallery you will see a pic of both rear side panels out ( which are really easy to remove) if you remove them then you can run the wires behind the panels that is what i did.
I might post some pics later of my current setup
