Hiding Cables

hey guys
dunno where to post this thread... can be in technicals but then again can be in audio/video anyways..

i just recently got a new pioneer HU AMP/SUBS for my car.... installed everything myself (stupid pionner HU doesnt have antenna trigger!!) and now i just have one last thing to do.... THE CABLES.... how can i hide it?... wat's good way to hide the RCA cables from the HU leading to the back of the car... drill holes? cut carpet? ..... sticky tape... lol

as u can see the blue cable are sitting there so how can u take this 'stepguard' off... it sits tight and i dont know how to take it off :confused:

imaginative mind needed!

just pull hard, mine has clips underneath, i used a screwdriver to pry it up then just pull :)

ooo ok sounds easy enough i go try it now... thanx

put power cables on one side, spekaer wires on other as well, and don't put speaker cables close to ecu, use carpet tape as well, very handy;)

start by taking the rubber door seals just to the side of the circled part
then get flat head screwdriver under it
theres 3 clips

ecu causes disturbance to sound, especially if you got references, you will hear it clearly, as your rpm's rise:)

thanx for clearing that up for me :D, didnt know ecu did this

its also the case for running power lines along speaker cables/RCA leads
keep them separate
