I aint to sure bout these sorts of things but I recently put 6x9's in my car. The easiest way to do it I think is to take your headunit out. Then drop one end of both wires down the back and if done correctly the left and right hand wires should drop out in there respective footwells. Then Make sure they wont fall through and take the wores to the back of the car. I found the easiest way o do this is to tack or sellotape the wires to the rim of the dash under each footwell. Then when you get to the door just push the wires under the black plastic strip. Mines a three door would be different in a five door. Anyway then take it around the seats into the boot(this is the only time I had to lift any carpet. Then clip them to your speakers and pull any slack through so you aint got a load hanging in your boot. BTW dont forget to leave slack for when you open the boot. Hope that helps.

Well Mine came with in the box with the speakers. Have you got an aftermarket headunit? Because if you look in the instruction manual then it will tell you what colour wires got to where. Its pretty simple TBH.
