Default Best way to fit a subwoofer

Hi guys this is my first post on here.

I've just purchased a lovely 440 N 2.0 glt with only 57000, but i'm trying to fit a subwoofer, and i am struggling trying to run the speaker wires from the headunit to the boot, and i'm hoping that you guys might be able to advise me on the best way to run the wires and how to get the rca lead down the back of the dashboard and where they would come out.

Alex

Just make sure your RCA cables are running down the opposite side to the power cable for the amp (i'm presuming you have one if you have a sub). I always run the RCA's down the drivers side and the Amp Power Cable down the passenger side. Stops any interference in the RCA signal.
