There's a few guides on here I think, but I took my passenger seat out and laid all wired under that as thats where I have my amplifier.
You can run them under the carpets under the front seats then under the back seats to the boot

if you can wire up your sub then you can def take out your seat mate, its just 4 40t torx screws to take out then the seat lifts out, unclip the seat belt tensioner under the seat aswell.

It's simple to get the seats and carpet out and takes 5 mins. You might find some nice holes in your floor like I did too.

With mine i didn't take the whole carpet out or in fact take the seats out.
What i did was wire it all up then when wired up tape the wires all together to make all the wires bunch together then lifted up the seal and using a flathead screwdriver lifted up the clips then pushed the wires down underneath the carpet re-attached the clips and put the seal back on. Works just aswell i feel you dont have to do the tape if you don't just made it easier for me.

Open the doors, take the seal off and take the carpet teeth things out and shove them under there, saves you taking seats and carpet out.
