ok! so I just spent 5 hrs on my installation (I can get meticulous about these things).
I am running the 12v power wire from the hood around drivers side through an plug i found in near a pedals. I continue it under the carpet to the center console and then run it under the center console, under the carpet going up into the seat (that move was real *****). i take it under the seat and into the truck and finally into the amp.
This isn't answering your question, but I was wondering if you could post pictures of how you did this? I am running the 12v power wire from the hood around drivers side through an plug i found in near a pedals. "
I'm planning on hooking up speakers and I just wanna know where its best to run the power line. At first, I was thinking of drilling, but i'm a little iffy on it. :/

OK! do NOT drill!!! no need! big waste of time, totally unnecessary!
the following was the DIY i used... i hope it will help you as clearly as it helped me. if you do have any particular q's im happy to answer... p.s. i got really confused when i started bc i saw a lager "plug" and a smaller one, use the larger one... its lower down right near fuse box.
Another "Power from Battery to Trunk" DIY
also, you are going to need a REM wire.... my advice is to pull out fuse #35 i saw someone else did it and decided to give it a shot. its the radio\acc fuse i THINK! either way i just stripped the wired after i pulled the fuse and pretty much just jammed the two back into the slot together... sort of held the stripped wire into the socket and just pushed that sucker in!... works perfect... test and amp goes on off like clockwork!
for those of you following my story! my **** is working now! i turned the gain to like 75% i guess just to make sure i dont put too much pressure on anything and obviously once i got the REM wire in, the feedback (which was only happening once the car was off bc the amp was still "hot" (on)) STOPPED WOOHOOO!!!
im sorry i didnt take pics but i felt everything i did was just meshing dif parts of the work of ppl that already have posted pics. however, stay tuned bc im planning on getting an 8" (perhaps shallow mount) open air sub. right now im running two 10's and i know i will lose quite a bit of bomb in the back, but it will be so much more discreet. so im a fan... i think lol
Then i want to creat an ipod station for my ipod where i can "cradle" it while i drive and i want to tuck away wires like power etc.
I want to create a proper "jack" to charge my phone with hidden wiring
i want to mount and hide wireing for a grs
and i want to get the dash kit and install a new, PHAT deck with perhaps double din display and would perhaps just roll the nav into the deck.
Lastly, speakers... the stock ones are doing pretty well for me.
i would say its a year till its all done, but slowly slowly
STAY TUNED!
