Wiring from Helm to Stereo

Has anyone run any wires from the helm to the stereo on a 342? The stereo remote makes that run, and I think some speaker wires. Would I have to take apart the seating in the dinette?

For context I want to get an LED Controller and mount it in the same space as the stereo amplifier, and I'd like to run NMEA2K from my chart plotter to the LED Controller.

    You've already moved beyond this question, but I wanted to apologize for missing it when you posted it.  This is right in my wheelhouse!  Can't believe I didn't see it at the time.

    Actually I'm not 100% beyond it... I ran power cabling for my amp the long way around the boat, but I haven't run NMEA2K to the head unit yet. Also, I need to replace the cable for my stereo remote. If there is a more straight forward path I'm all ears.

    I wish I had taken pix of everything on the 342 like I did on the 370.  I remember belly-crawling along the starboard side next to the helm seat, wishing for longer arms and hoping I didn't get stuck.  I think the cables run through the valence under the stbd windows.
