hey. i have 8 guage so its a bit easier to bend but anyway. my car is auto so i just used the hole already in the firewall the goes directly into the driver footwell. i then took of the drivers kick pannel and the plastic parts on the bottom when you open the door. i then lifted up the carpet and lay the wire under that. i then took out the back seat and then thread it through the boot removing the appropirate plastic bits.
also i ran my rca and speaker wire on the opposite site of the car.
hope that helped any more info send me a pm
matt

i have 4 guage (power and ground) running from the battery, throught the firewall throught the accelerator rubber (had to drill rubber out) straight up the middle of the drivers seat under the rear seat and up between where the seats fold. all under the carpet ofcorse.
for speaker wire just run out the back of the dash and down under the drivers footwell carpet and under the sills, up the side of the seat then whereever u need to go.
the side panels in the boot are on clips up the top of them so once u take the screws out at the tailgate and remove C pillar trim its all too easy to get to the tailgate!
if u take the power route i did ensure u run ur RCA's down the passenger side of the car as u will get interference as i have got :(

Power down drivers, RCAs and speakers down passenger side or either side of trans tunnel if you want.
