Wiring rear speakers

I'd like to run some new wiring to my rear 6x9 speakers. What's the easiest way to do this?

i would go under the carpet around the center console area and work your way back and then go under the rear seats and behind the plastic interior and up into the speaker.

i would it you dont want to see wires all the time.. under the carpet would be the best choice i think..


i would start with taking the center cosole out, that should give you enough room to tuck the wires under the carpet.

i am still using my stock wires, so i am not very experienced just trying to help. thats the way i would do it.. i would just leave my stock wires in also..

well you could leave te stock wires in there but also run some new wires if you want.. i am sure new wires would be alot better than the factory stuff..

good luck either way..

i did it an easier way.....just took off all the moldings around the doors and ran the wire from the hu up the dash under the dashpad....down where the kickpanel would be....along the door rail underneith the carpet a little....then up the rear seat panel.....i found it much easier that way
