what is the best way to hide wires on a 5th gen civic coupe? i need to hook up my deck to the sub n amp in the back, the problem is...where does the wires go? and how many wires in total need to be run though?

thanks in advance

under the door sil

the plastic piece pops up, and you run wire under there

or in a pvc conduit under the car if your creative

hiding wires is for suckers y0! its krazy JDM to have your wires exposed all over the place!

hahahaha...yea, the above is good!

Just make sure you run speaker wires and RCA's on one side of the car and all power wires along the other side.... this will eliminate any interference.

what about interferance from all the other electrical sources in the car? fuel pump, door locks, brake lights etc... theres no avoiding them...

running wires on opposite sides is a good way to block any potential noise but when you look at it there is not sacred place to run a wire in your car to avoid the noise its everywhere..

good rcas and a good ground is best...

if you do develope noise you can try moving them apart but its not always going to fix the problem

These are all minor current draws.... but a 2-4ga power wire running right beside your RCA's for the length of your car can cause much more significant interference. By running them as far apart as possible you'll minimize any possible interference.

Of course it's always a good idea to buy well shielded RCA's....

or make the same thing for under $10, works just the same, but doens't have the "bling" factor high price units do... but if you dont care for the "bling" this is much better alternative
