Just run them inside the closet, down through the shelf and underneath the
van.  Tape them in the  corner or run inside the A/C hose cover.  If you can
get a four wire sheathed cable like the pros use that's the cleanest.   The
factory wires are inside the air vent channel and not worth the hassle of
trying to fish new wires there IMHO.

Have fun!

Thanks for the idea. Now, the wires won't move in whatever chase they're in,
so fishing's not an option. But the bass are biting up at the lake...David
