Be more specific about the issue. For example, do you not know how to wire them at all, or are you asking us where to run the wires in the vehicle?

Run the wires along either side under the door trim, it pops right up and runs the length of the vehicle from front to back.

For the power wires there is a few access grommets in the firewall (rubber plugs to run wires through) the easiest is above the brake pedal.

You mean to get to the stereo, or on the stereo? If the stereo does not have the inputs, it does not support it. Otherwise just run up to the front, over or behind the pedals, and up behind the console.

It's ok if there are things running through it, there should be plenty of room.

I have a '93 and i used firewall grommets to run my stereo power, amp power, light bar power, and god knows what else.

open up the door and there should be some holes to get to the battery for the power wire. as for the remote and RCA's i agree with nukinfuts the pedals are your best bet. and for ground wire you'll more than likely find a nut/bolt/something under your rear seat. hope that helps!
