Where to hide the wires?

Hey guys. Where did you hide the wires for your system? Right now, I have the wires running from my amp to the top of my box. I'm going to be building a new box pretty soon, and I don't want the wires to be visible, or at least not very noticeable. I also want to be able to easily disconnect the wires so that it's not much of a hassle to remove my box when I pull it to go race.

I may have a different setup than you, since I built a permanent box that I will never be able to remove. I ran all the wires under the carpet and under the plastic panels that are above the wheel wells. If you wanted to remove your box and have the wires hidden, I guess you could tuck the wires back under the plastic panel that covers the spare. That's where my speaker wires come through to the box. You could make the connections on that side of the box so you could just disconnect them and hide the wires.

how you doing?

its simple. I hid all my wires right under the plastic panel along the door jams. However, when you run your power wire and RCA's make sure there are on separate sides (run one along the drivers side, and the other along the passenger side)if you dont do this you will recieve a nice shocking sensation whenever you touch the cigarette lighter or open your door (puts hair on your chest, haha)

but anyway, just hide them right along the side plastic panels. You could probably just use your fingers and stuff it under, but if you wanted to go ***** out, then it takes a small phillips head to unscrew the panels.

peaceee
