Ive always loved that setup i saw it awhile back on cardomain/sounddomain.
One of the reasons i did not do that is no one is going to see my amps, my seats dont fold down. i just wanted to organize it a bit. i admit i could do better hahaha but it works for now. maybe when i get sick of this setup ill do something like those pics

Low , Just curiuos what picture in this thread do you like that has neat wires ? Are you saying it's ok to run your Power , RCA's ,Remote , IP-Bus , Etc above the carpet in the vehicle ? You could attach them to the carpet using Superglue , Duck Tape , or Plastic ties . Are you saying this would be ok if the wires were ran neatly ?

https://www.f150online.com/forums/sp...urn-build.html - More why I say they dont have to be flushed but wires do need thought.
V - and before you pick it apart, you will, there was more done after as far as paneling but I never got pics of it.

Yes looks very good . But my point was that people spend the time to do the long cable runs the right way (like your photo) but then they expose all the wiring at the amplifiers (Right where the most wiring is seen ). If you have 3-4 amps , a couple distribution blocks and a cap , that is a whole lot of wiring exposed .

Now that looks good because the wire exits the audio equipment and dissapears into a panel . I have a few things in my install like that(See Photo's) . It doesn't always have to be flushed , I only flush things when there isn't room to top mount the piece , and go through a panel ( Like behind the seats in our trucks. Thats why I suggested flushing the amps Because thats really the only way of hiding the wires .

Why do you automatically think I'm going to pick it apart . I would rather help people get a better sounding and looking system . Now sometimes I might give some constructive critisicm , but I hope people don't take it the wrong way . I will take my share as well . That Saturn looks fine to me .
