Default Wiring question

So I recently installed a Kenwood DNX570HD into my JKU. I've already added speakers to my jeep before hand and it wasn't enough, now I'm planing on amplifying my speakers and adding a sub into it as well. My question is when running the wiring from the amp to the sound bar how to I run those wires into the speaker is there an access for me to run wires into it do I have to tap a hole somewhere? TIA guys

You can run wiring up the passenger side behind the plastic where the seat belts are installed (on a '12 2dr). The factory wiring runs up from the ground there and continues towards the front along the plastic door trim. Once up the you can run wires inside the sound bar, I would recommend a padded loom of some sort. I used copper pipe insulation (taped it down too) and ran that through the sound bar to keep the wires from slapping around in there.

What amp are you going with? Kicker makes a pretty sweet 5 ch marine amp that I plan on using for all my speakers once I get them in
