    Power cable down the drivers side.
    RCAs & speaker wires down the passenger side.

    How much info do you need? You really just take of the sill trim, rear seats out, kick panels out and you're free to run wires from one end to the other hidden.

    If you feed enough cable through from the engine bay you will find it under the dash somewhere.....it can be hard to pull down the carpet / insulation to find the actual hole.

    Pop the little panel off the top of the sill covers... A flat head screw driver helps here, but be careful not to scratch it.
    Then underneath those little plastic covers there is security screws (Torx?). You need to undo those.
    Slide the seats forward and backward so you can access the plastic covers around the seat rails.
    Take a could of screws out of the B-pillar trim.
    Take rear seat out, pull handle things at the front of the seat and it'll pop out.

    I can't remember all the steps but it's pretty straight forward. Just remember to keep all the screws safe and with the part the came off
