Carpet Removal

Ok so awhile back I got my new stereo and all that stuff in. So i'll be installing it all tomorrow and the question is the carpet. Since I want to run the RCA wire to the amp I want to run it underneath the carpet instead of having it topside under the seat where someone could get their foot tangled up in it. I did search and found one where someone had to take out the carpet on the passenger side, it said something about the door sills and kick panels the carpet being glued into place and tacked. What I want to do is take the carpet up on the drivers side so I already know how to remove the driver's seat. Are there any clips or screws holding in the sills and kickpanels? and what is the best way to remove the sills and kickpanels without braking them or snapping any clips or reaming out screws?

the sills are easy just grab a corner and lift.........and why are going to rum the wires under the carpet........if you remove the front and rear sills, the kick panel and the cover that over the front seat belts you will have no problem runing the wires i have a 4gauge power cable and it fit without a problem........the only tight spot is runing the cables into the trunk........but thats cause i didn't remove the seat just lifted the corner.......

Agree. No need to remove front seats and stuff. Just lift up on the sill plate covers, they just pop off. Once you get to the rear the rear seat cushion will have to/should be removed

And the carpet isnt glued or tacked down in these cars.
