I don't know about the 00, but on my 96 you can fit wires to the trunk without removing the seat. You just get one person in the back and another in the trunk and squeeze them through the corner of the seat. We got a power cable, rca cable, and another smaller wire through to the trunk. See if you can find a place to squeeze them through.
