Mildly OT as the wiring is for car audio, but I suspect I might get a

Well, I don't know what's going down in uk.rec.audio.car - been a while
since I stepped in that...

I'm going to be fitting some speakers, a subwoofer and an amplifier to
my car. The subwoofer is there due to the near impossibility of getting
deep bass out of the ordinary speaker fittings present, not to test the
fixings of the interior trim.

I went to the expense of fitting an amp, bought some dynamat (unused)
for the doors, got a woofer (unused) for the boot, found some wood for
the speaker cabinet (also unused). Ran some fancy crossovers and
individually placed front woofers and tweets..

Above unused components came about since I realized how much of a prat
I'd look booming around my local neighbourhood, how it would make my
attention to driving worse and how it all fitted would make my car a
prime target for all the local prats who'd want to lift it all off.

Has anyone got any idea if there's likely to be an actual problem if I
route all my wires down the same side of the car?

Well, there is experience of many that it is not a good idea. But if it
makes it a challenge why not tape some cables down with sticky tape and
try it out?
