Installing New Head Unit and Amp

[Zan186]

I just purchased a new Eclipse AVN7000 head unit and a J/L Audio 500/5 Amp. Probably will get a 12" sub and a nice custom made enclosure next.
Question I have is how to run the wiring from the Head Unit to the back deck without drilling or cutting?
Been searching this site and some others to see how others accomplished a custom install.
Since I know very little about cars and I don't plan on experimenting on my Viper I will probably have a professional install everything for me. Since Vipers are relatively rare I want to know where the A/V cables should be run so when I ask the installer how he plans to get the cables from the back to the front he should have the correct answer.

I ran mine though the center console and under the carpet all the way to the back

If you go to a professional installer they will know how to run it back. Even if they're not familiar with your car they have a lot of online resources to look up the best method to run cables. Mine was also run in the center console.

BTW when you make your sub enclosure make sure you don't block the side vents. If you do you will have a lot of problems with air pressure assuming you have a GTS.

Cool, thanks a ton for the information.
