drivers side ..theres a spot in the firewall thats easy to get to..drill through that..
pull your cable through and run it under your door sill..and from there under someplastic and your back seat..and its sorta self explanitory..keep it hidden..
hook up your shit and let that bass pound

try looking right where your driver wheel conects to your firewall. should be wires already running there. just get a knife/razor, and widen that pre existing hole. i know its there, i ran my boost guage and ampwire threw it.

Also make sure you run the RCA's up the opposite side of the car. This eliminates some possibility of interference.

like how much of a chance of interference are we talkin? lol. cause my rca cables run down the drivers side. and i could move em but that would require the hole rip out of the headunit again and rippin the car apart and that doesn't sound like somethin i wanna do right now lol.

Why would you have to rip the headunit out? Ripping the car apart? Pull the center console and run the RCA's down the middle. Pull the two tabs for the bottom of the back seat, pull that seat out and feed the RCA's to the trunk from there. Takes approximately 22 minutes.

When do they pop? All the time? When you use the brakes? When you use turn signals, wipers, etc?

its a real low constant popping, usually if i turn the remote bass control up then back down it will go away until i start my car again. one time i could hear my subs making noise in time with my motors rpms but it was only one time a long time ago.

You can feed it under the carpet. There's an open area with no carpet underneath the center console. You'll only have to feed it under 20 inchs or carpet or so.
