Spread the slack out as best you can. Leave a little extra behind the radio, a little extra at the amp, and spread the slack out under the carpet in between.

Hide it in your paneling or under the back seat.

Either spread it out through the car adding a little slack along the way or coil it up in one spot wheres the room like under the carpet or the seats

I put all my excess wire either under the amp rack or under the seats.

i was going to coil the excess up and put zip ties on where i coiled it up and put it under the carpet, think it will be okay? i dont want any noise generated(there monster cables by the way)

Same, keep mine under the seat as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

I've personally tried a few different things out of curiosity to see if any noise was incurred. I coiled them up, zig-zagged them under the seat like a snake kinda pattern, threw it haphazardously, and just slacked it a bit in various places, and it all sounded identical to me on my system. So as far as I can tell you, no audible noise should be incurred.

Send them back,if the length isn't perfect then keep returning them until the seller gets it right.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
