RCA cables? I mean you have a power,ground, remote, and rca wires into the amp. The remote wire and RCA cables are normally the ones that go to the cd player.

under the side floor triming near the door is a good spot. or in the center of the car under the rug.

you yourself will have tyo decide on where you want your wires to be run. it's your car.

So you cut holes in the carpet to hook the amp/subs to the deck? and thread it through or what?

Also, If I was to bolt down my subs and amp, would it look really bad if I took the subs and amp out of the car???

Do I have to cut holes anywhere to run the wires to the back ?

Take off the sill plate and pull up the carpet. Probably gonna have to take out your kickpanels as well. Then depending on the car/truck take out the seat bottom and run them directly into the trunk or if its a truck continue to hide the wires under the carpet until you get to the back.

easiest way is under the trim panels on the sides of your car. this works great with 4ga. i have had problems with 1ga. on my car before.

if making multiple runs of 1 ga. run under the car.

I am not too sure what ga. means... How would you run them under the car?

actually the best place to run your wires is to tape them to the headliner. that way no one will step on the wires when they get in the car. thus reducing the risk of havign broken wires. you can also use a staple gun instead of tape. heat will make tape get all gooey.
