How have you all, those who have, routed the RCA cables from your stereo to your amplifier? Did you find a way to go under the floor matting, route it up and around somehow "out of sight" the long way? I have a pretty decent 1500 watt amplifier I want to install in my Volvo. I think I want to put the amp in my side box next to the Thermo King power inverter, and either run the wires for the amp from the inverter, or have to make a hole to route the positive and negative cables to the battery. Just a matter of routing the RCA cables and remote wire to the amplifier I am unsure what would be the way that is easiest and not such an eye sore. If I didn't care I would just run it right across the floor of the truck and put tape over it but that's going to look like donkey ####.

Curious question, what’s prevent you from just buying a home theater system and plugging it into the inverter?

Just do what every car audio installer would do. Honestly since you’re asking this question, you’d probably be better off paying for an amp install but here you go. RCA’s from back of radio to side of dash, down through kick panel area. Unscrew side of rubber/carpet floor in door opening and tuck cable under floor. Pop back out at sleeper behind seat at sleeper cabinets and figure out a way through or behind to wherever you’re installing amp. Run power cables directly from batteries to amp. Be sure to fuse/circuit breaker the positive cable within a foot of the battery connection. You’ll have to drill through the floor to route power cables make sure you know where you’re drilling. Use grommets to keep the metal from cutting power cables.
