Default How do I do this??

My other post on this seems to have died out, so here I go again.

How do I run a cable from the back seat area to the trunk.

Before you laugh the back seats DO NOT fold down, behind the rear seats is solid metal. I would need tools to remove the back of the rear seats that are bolted to the metal. I can pop off the bottom of the rear seats easy enough, but I cant see any way in from there either.

I really want to get my CD changer and sub wired up in there, help me!!

why don't you take the back seats out and drill a big enough hole to run your wires, put a rubber groumet so your wires don't get screwed up by the burs from the hole, or you can find the harness that runs to the back of the car, usaully under the floor moldings but it won't be easy. drilling a hole is the easy way but your drilling a hole in your car.

think about it (best way is under the carpets sill area) or under the car with the wires covered to protect them from the obvious, other way is through the head liner

B5 or B6? When I wired my sub and amp, I ran two cables the length of the car - power cable reached the rear set along the floor sill, and line out from the head unit reached the reat seat along the central hump. In both cases, I carried the wires from the back seat into the trunk by following the inside of the rear pillar into the rear deck. From there running the cables to the sub and amp was simple.

B5 i think, its a 99.

The joys of motoring, nothings ever easy, tell a lie... I replaced my window wipers, that was easy....
