Door sills are the standard routings for wire looms, factory and aftermarket, going
from front to back.  The most important thing to remember is.....if you have speaker
wires or source cables from CD changers or other things like that with very small
signals....like satellite radio antennas....be sure to run them on the opposide of
the car from any large current carrying wires, like power cables for amplifiers. 
The alternator noise that is always in power wires will make itself known in your
speakers, if you don't.

There are filters and other preventative measures to reduce noise, but if all the
wires of a sound system, including power, are all run through the same door sill,
you'll hear the noise.....especially if it is induced into the antenna.
