Yet another S14 Question: Running cables - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

How I run cables from the trunk to the dash? I know there's an opening where the white harness is on the top of hte passenger side of the rear deck.

However when I try putting a cable through there it gets stuck. How does the cable route from that opening? I tried prying away the side panels by the door and saw that it goes down to below the rear seats. However I am not positive if it actually goes below the seats or runs to the side of them. I think it also meets up at the 'hump' in the center and runs up the tranny tunnel to the console...am I right?

If I am, how do I get my cables to follow that route???

Thanks!

i think the easiest way would b by running it with other wires through the drivers side. if u take off the rear seat and the cover on the drivers side, u'll see everything.
hope that helps

Well, I ran them down the side of the back seat, behind the panel to the side of the rear passenger, and under the carpet(pull up the trim on the bottom of the door fram and pull back the carpet a bit), then up into the kick panel, and under the dash to the stereo.
If your running wires to an amp, I'd reccomend running the power wires down one side and the signal wires down the other to reduce and interference.

Thats  how I did it and you couldnt see any part of any of the wires except as the popped out of the side of the carpet lining the deck in the trunk.
