All system wiring should be concealed for safety, and to give your
installation a nice, finished look. Wires should be secured so
that they do not interfere with safe vehicle operation. Depending
on the vehicle and the location you choose for your amplifier, the
wiring for your system may need to be run under the dash, door
scuff plate, pillar trimpanel, or kick panel. The instructions below
address, in general, which panels may need to be removed and
how they typically come off. Often, panels can be pried up at
edges. Screws and retaining clips might also be present that will
require removal (Figure 1). To prevent damage, always use care
when removing panels — a panel removal tool is helpful.
Door Scuff Plate removal
The plates are usually removed by prying up the edges to release
clips. Some vehicles will have screws present which will need to
be removed (Figure 2).
Seat Belt removal
A seat belt may be located on a panel that
needs to be removed. Most seat belt anchor
covers pry off. The seat belt anchor is secured
with a large nut or bolt (Figure 3).
Pillar Trimpanel removal
Remove seat belt if present. Remove screw covers, screws, and
plastic retaining clips if present. Pry up edges of panel to remove
(Figures 4 & 5).
Kick panel removal
Look for screws and pry-out retaining clips to remove.
Pry out edges of panel to release and remove (Figure 6).
Routing wire behind dash
Route wire behind dash and secure with plastic wire ties.
Be sure that wire doesn’t interfere with any moving parts
to ensure safe operation of vehicle.
Routing wire for components and power connections
Determine desired locations for each component. Remove
panels necessary to route and conceal wires. Test system
before re-installing panels.
