Questions about running wires from H/U to truck

I plan to add a self-powered Infinity basslink or X to my 98 Camry. (Now H/U JVC KDG700, Front Alpine sps170A, Rear SPS690A). I just want a little more bass. I have read through Phi's post "Basic Amp Install Instructions". Just want to ask several questions to make sure before I start to do it

1.) Do I need to take off the wheel to remove the fender liner? (for running power line)

2). How to run the 2 pairs RCA wires and remote gain control wire from the desk to the ouside of the instrument panel? Is there a hole or need to remove some trims like glove box to put the wires throguh?

3). It is recommended to run power wire and remote wire together, right? How to run the remote wire from the H/U to driver side? Or is it ok to run it together with RCA wires from the passenger side? Thanks for your help.

Don't get a basslink, they suck, just get a slim trunk box assuming you can fit it and a single 10" sub (at work I recommend an Alpine Type S 10" dual voice coil in Q-Logic QLH6510SE running off an Alpine MRD-M350 amp.

1. It will be very difficult without removing the wheel.

2. You pull up the trim that's exposed when you open the door, that allows you to pull up the carpet and run wires underneath. As for the wires coming from the stereo, you can either run them out the back of where the stereo is and hide them under the carpet right away and go around the passenger side foot well, or just run them along the bottom passenger dash and then hide them under the carpet and kickpanel.

3. Doesn't really matter but if you're anal run the remote turn on with the power wire. It's easier to run it with RCAs, and even with shitty RCAs you shouldn't get any noise from the remote wire.

Thanks for your inputs. Now bassically I know how to run the wires.


But after I checked the corner of the driver side truck (where supposed to mount the bassslink), new question comes up:
where and how to mount the Basslink subwoofer? A concave at the corner, a beam structure at middle, then a concave for spare tire. It seems nowhere to drill holes. Has anybody had exprerience on installing Basslink for Camry? Please give some advices on how to mount it. Thanks.
