I heard on http://www.elitecaraudio.com that you don't need to do this if you're only going to be powering subs, because distortion from power wires can't be heard much if at all on subs. I ran my RCAs right next to my 4 gauge power wire and I don't hear any distortion at all.

Notice the "sometimes" im my previous post... This is a problem sometimes with larger systems.... I have had problems with this happening in other cars but never in any of my systems in my 6th gen...

It only take a couple extra mins to do this and it will eliminate the possiblity of it happening so I would still suggest doing this.

the best way of hiding wires is to get yourself some sponge or card and cut out a template to the exact shape of your trunk. You may have to do thi in a few pieces for some of the stranger angles but this is no problem. Once you have your templates place them over some wood of your choice suggest something fairly thick but not too heavy and cut the wood out to the exact outline of your templates. Once you have your trunk shaped bits of wood cover them in trunk crpet or material of your choice, all of your wires can be run through perfect sized holesand run under the wood template. I have this set up my self and it looks good all that can be seen are the actual connections. Also doing this alows you to bolt in amps, power packs, caps etc with decent sized screws without the worry of the spare being damaged.

an easier way to do this is to just use your carpet in the trunk... get a sheet of MDF board and lay you carpet on it and trace around it... the trunk dimensions stay the same on the bottom for about 1 1/2 -2 inches.. cover it with nekind of carpet.

the only problem with this way and the way mentioned above is that it is one piece and kinda hard to get down into the bottom of the trunk... maybe rigggin up something with hinges on the bottom of it that would kinda fold in half would help.
