remove center console and run RCA speaker wires
This again has already been done on my car, but to give you an idea, I went back and took photos.
Remove the ash tray and take out the one screw.

Remove the shift **** and the trim piece. This picture doesn't show it too well, but at the front of the console, there are two screws. Take them out. If the parking brake isn't up - make it happen. Now lift the back of the console up and to the rear. Then raise the front of the console up, clearing the rest of the dash. Now lift the rear part of the console to clear the parking brake. There will be a wiring harness attached to the console, unconnect and the console is out.

Another pic showing the front half of the console and the wires. Run the wires to the left of the parking brake - can tuck them down in the carpet. Routed underneath the carpet that straddles the console and along the left side of the shifter and on up to the radio. Zip ties hold everything together and in place, plus makes it look professional

FWIW: The console on the automatic transmission is a bit different. You pull the screws out of the coin tray and behind each seat. Then you pull up on the circlular plastic ring around the shift_lever. Then you work your fingers up under the plastic in front of the shifeter that contains the air conditioner and pull upwards and toward the back of the car. Remove the white ribbon cable from the climate controls and continue on to remove two screws on either side of the console forward of the shift lever.

Some of us are not running RCA wires only. I was trying to install an 06 Bose unit into my 03 which means I had to pull everything out.
PS. The 06 stereo will not fit in an 03.

My RCA's run down the center console, and my power wire runs down the passenger side floor board. Everything worked out well for me Only problem I have, is I broke some clips on the driver side. I think a ground wire might have gotten in the way, so it won't stay clipped. It looks ghettooooo
