I understand that the headrest wires come down through one of the poles, what I don't get is how to get it through the backrest of the seat and down underneath the car where I can attach it to a 12v wire and run the other wires.

Is there a zipper in the backrest so I can run the wires through the seat, or do I have to make a small incision at the bottom of the backseat and just pull the wires down? But still, where is the best place to run them?

our seat backs actuallly snap out... with enough force, you can snap it out, and you'll see how to run the wire... just run it down, let it hang out, and snap the seat back in place

where would you run the power source to? from behind the sound system, or is there something closer to the seat that's inconspicuous?

Well the ground can begrounded anywhere.. the power can be spliced into either the power wire coming from the stereo, or you can insert it into one of the ACC fuses in the fuse box
