The way i've done it is to run the amp wires down the driver's side of the car, behind the kick panels and then through the rear panel where the seats attach to.

Where the ECU plug goes through, i drilled an extra hole in the gromet, think there might be a spare one though?

Got a pic somewhere, will see if i can find it.

Your a scholor and a gentleman. Does anything inside need to be remove to retrieve the end? And is it easy enough to run the wires from the back of the headunit out the dash somewhere?

You just need to remove the under dash panel (above the pedals) and you'll be able to retrieve it.

I routed the headunit amp wires underneath the steering column and along the drivers side panel.
