    I'm waiting for my wires and amp and sub box to get here and getting ready for the install. Running the power cable seems easy but where do i run my rca and ground cables in an access cab? Thanks.

    depends on where your amp is.

    mine is under the drivers seat. i ran the rca wires down behind the dash, under the center console to the back of the center console and then out the lower side to the drivers seat.

    i've got a few zip ties under the console to hold the wires in place.

    i grounded to the driver seat bolt

    for what it's worth, i kept mine in the console to keep the RCA wires away from the power wire that i ran under the door sill. although i could have gone done the passenger sill. i was concerned with interference from the power wire, however, i did run speaker wire down the driver side door sill and havne't had any noise issues.

    I like the console idea myself. It's good to read these forums, many good ideas and practical experience.
