Question Farenheit HR monitors - A Little Help!

I'm ready to start the install:
'04 TL w/ Navi
Dom's Nav conversion
Audio Aux-In switch to hack XM
2 Farenheit 7014 headrest monitors
Audiovox 6 disk changer in the trunk

I just got the monitors yesterday, and I've got concerns with the connectors. It's got 1 line from the monitor that runs into a brick then splits into six wires (R, L, & Vid for source 1 and 2). This isn't counting the power and ground.

I'm not worried about cutting the headrests, but the size of this connector is giving me fits. Can anyone w/ experience give me a hint as to the easiest way to make this look half way decent?

Should I:
1) pull everything through and connect in the back of the seat? (mighty big hole in the headrest and seat back)
2) Leave everything up to the Brick in the headrest and just pull the 6 RCA's? (8 wires between headrest and seat back)
3) Run two sets of RCA's plus Ground and Power up from the seat and leave all connections in the headrest?
4) Some other way??

Any help would be appreciated.

Many of these installs the HR sits all the way down on the seat all the time... and the cable just goes into the top of the seat between the post holes. It requires a couple of stitches be pulled for the cable to pass through. I'm not a fan of the hole but it's not THAT big...

This is why those hollow-post preinstalled HR kits are so popular with installers.
