Well, hide MOST of them, but by your amp try not to be so sneaky! You paid for these cables, and they look way cool.

Here is an example of what I mean. This was actually my girlfriend's idea:

sorry the pic is so small, but you get the idea. the speaker wire on the right is in full display, making a bee-line toward the blue light. While the power cables on the right make a graceful arc.

companies spend alot of money making the rca and power wires pretty, so show them off. I agree.

Feng Shui in car audio. You've got a good girlfriend!

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

I do understand that some people like showing the wires, they really arent so bad looking, you are right. But to me there is just something about a really clean install thats absolutely beautiful in my eyes. Its one of those things that not everybody looking at your car will appreciate, but those that actually know what they are talking about realize the work that goes into such a clean install and do appreciate it. Just a personal preference, but it really cant be beat for me.

I feel the same way these rides show alot of pride in what we have and , I dont know if judging is still the same but we use to get docked points for wires being exposed

and .... i meant that the speaker wire was on the LEFT

Thanks for the compliment. All my other wiring is stealth and the amp for my sub is flush mounted. This is hidden behind the seat. sneaky. I only show those who will appreciate it.

I like the idustrial look myself I like to see the wires, dist blocks, caps, rca"s, and the like. I have seen some clean installs that look very cool too.
