Alright, I've got a 1996 Accord EX. I just finished installing 2 Kenwood 6x9's in the back decks, and 2 Kenwood 6.5's in the front door decks and a brand new Blaupunkt head unit up front. First of all, I'd like to say thanks to this forum, you guys are great, the only way I figured out how to get the damn door panels off was because of honda-acura.net. Now, my question.

It's time to put either my two 12"'s in or my 15" in. I've got amps, I've got cable, I just need a little help with the wiring. I want one amp up front to power the Kenwoods I just installed. I'll mount that one under the dash, no problem. But the amp for the subs, how do I go about getting up the carpet once I run the RCA's through the center console? And once I'm there, how do I get through the back seat and into the trunk? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

 

you should try posting in audio and eletronics they would have better advice.

As for your RCA cables, what I did was pop open the door still panels and wired it under there. One side for the RCA and the other side for your Power (+) so the power line does not distort your audio.

 

I noticed the car audio section after I posted here, sorry about that. It's posted in both sections now. If an administrator wants to remove this thread, please do.

 

carpet (for most cars)
remove the drivers or passenger side seat. which ever side you're NOT running the power on.
remove the plastic door sill trim
then you'll see the plastic clip that holds in that side of the carpet.
lift up on the long clip, and you're done.

i suggest that you don't completely rip up the carpet, because getting it back the way it was isn't that easy. just release enough of the carpet to fish line the RCA's through. you're going to have to do some reaching and use the holes in the rug (where the seat mounts over) in order to help run the RCA.

back seat and trunk (for most cars)

lift up the carpet and run your RCA.
check the back seat for any sort of release pully. imagine if someone was sitting in the back seat, find the area between their legs where the seat meets the vertical carpet. look for a plastic release and pull up. (i've never done this on a 5th gen before, if there's no release, just tug up on the rear seat, it should be held in with a clip.)
then getting into the trunk is easy when the rear seat is up.

 

Never gone that far into audio installation for the Accord but in my Vigor I just ran it under the rear seat, under the carpet and under the center console.

 

Thanks eklypse, that's exactly what I was looking for. I would have never found the plug under the door trim. I appreciate the help, I'll post some pictures when I get the whole system done. If you all care to see that is.
