I installed a self-powered sub-woofer under the rear bench and was able to
run a RCA cable pair along the driver's side carpet behind the cabinet.
From there it's a straight shot to the back. I had it done in about 30
minutes.

As a bonus, Backup camera cables are typically a single RCA cable and are
quite thin, so you can stretch a rubber grommet over one of the plug ends,
then drill a hole from the engine compartment to beneath the rear bench
seat that is the width of RCA plug, which is then filled by the grommet
after the cable is pulled through.
