Default C5 Coupe Amp wire routing

I am mounting an amp behind the passenger seat. The power wire will come down the passenger door sill. Where is a good place to route and ground it? Is there enough room to run the RCA cables under the console or where would you recommend?

Thanks,

Mike

There's a factory ground bolt on the B pillar a few inches off the floor, or just use a seat bolt.

You can run RCA's under the console, but be careful when tightening the rear 10mm nuts so you don't crack the plastic. I run mine along the floor next to the hump (under the carpet and below the e-brake handle) then up to the HU in front of where the seat can be moved to.
