Wiring is the last thing which comes to one's mind who thinks of a new stylish, cool car stereo. It is very essential to hide the wiring for reducing the sound, and to increase performance and aesthetics. All these wires must be well insulated so as to reduce the noise levels. These noises should not be transferred to other wires or cables. A professional and custom look can be given to the car stereo if all these wiring are hidden under the insulation. This also ensures safety of the wires by avoiding contact with the passenger in the car while any kind of accidents. This will also increase the life of the wiring. But how to hide wiring in auto stereo installation?

In the cases of uncovered wires there are possibilities of the noise transfer from one cable to the others. These wires are to be hidden to give a highly professional and customized look to your car stereo. Hiding the wire will also make it live longer as it reduces risk during accidents. There are few basic tools required for this task. They are Velcro stripping material, putty knife, cable ties, cordless drill, wire cutter, sheet metal screws, hex bits, flexible cable tubing.

It makes the job look cleaner and also reduces the chances of any connection fault in the wiring.

The wires of the stereo can be hidden by putting it under the plastic trim that is present along the door and under the carpet. This can be done by using a knife to pull it out. Some consultation may be done regarding the bundling of the wires so that the noise can be reduced or even avoided completely. The cable tubing can then be attached but care should be taken that screws are not fixed over the wire. The Velcro material can be used in the places where holes cannot be drilled as in the frame of the car.

The wires to the speakers at the rear, sub-woofers, amplifiers and the crossovers can be hidden behind the side of the car and panels. Instructions should be followed to remove it with no damage.

The connectors that are at the sub-woofers and the amplifiers may be seen generally. These can be inserted into the carpet or panels. For some cars there are panels that are built to reduce the wiring.
