69 in the back

this is how i wired it

battery > opening behind glove box > inside center console > under passenger seat into floor (there should be an opening in the carpet) > into the backseat > into the trunk...

only between the passengerseat and the center console you can see a bit of wire if you pull the seat aside. i suggest you do soundcabels one side
and your power cables the other side of the center console to avoid disturbances. sorry for my english

peace

I DISCUSSED THIS ROUTE WITH PETE FARRELL THE OTHER DAY AND OUR ONLY CONCERN WAS THE WIRES GETTING DAMAGED WHERE THEY PASS UNDER THE EDGES OF THE REAR SEAT SQUAB

There's a fair sized gap there - especially at either end. I've got temporary speaker lines and (at the moment) the speed sensor line going under there.

cheers

no worry, you must be using very fragile wires to get them broken by putting them through the whole under the backseat
take out the backseat, move the carpet aside and lay down the wires (audio cables are thick enough to resist a bit of damage...) truly you can wire the whole car without even noticing it ;)
