Phishing the wire up into the dash does seem challenging based on pics and videos, but it's an option...

I plan to find out soon. I'm adding a small amp that will also actively cross over the door and dash speakers, so I need to get rid of the stock 68uF capacitors that are on the dash speakers anyway. So I am going to just run new speaker wire to the dash speakers. I hope it isn't too difficult! I'll try to keep the factory speaker wires in place, just in case I ever want to revert back.
I've pretty much decided that I'm going to mount this amp in the trunk area somewhere, for multiple reasons. If I were doing a simple digital miniamp and retaining stock passive "crossover" function, I could tuck it up behind the dash on the "multiuse" bracket underneath. But my amp is a little too big for that, and I want to be able to access it to change its setting and redo the calibration process whenever I want, so I want it to be more accessible than that. I plan to run 9-conductor cable to and from the trunk along the passenger door sill. I'm hoping I can do that by removing the rear seat cushion and
without having to remove the rear side quarter panel. Those seem like giant PITA to remove and replace!
