ᐅ Leave a gap between the wall and the Ikea Metod kitchen cabinet?

Hello,
can anyone tell me if the Metod kitchen cabinets sit flush with the wall?
I would like to place my stereo system on a shelf inside an upper cabinet, and for that, the power and speaker cables would need to be routed behind the cabinet and upwards.
The cables for the under-cabinet lighting would also need to be routed that way.
Is this possible, or is there no space for it?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Anita

We have the Metod, installed with the continuous rail. There is space to run cables through (without connectors).

The under-cabinet lighting even comes with a cable duct that guides the cable straight to the back, so you only need to route it upwards from there.

Is it possible to pass a flat connector through?

Probably not. There is about 10mm (0.4 inches) between the back panel and the building wall. You either have to do it beforehand, disconnect the cable from the device, or cut a recess in the cabinet.

I would also simply lift the cable when attaching and before tightening the screws; that should work.

The clearances are approximately:

2cm (1 inch) between the thin hardboard panel and the wall (for example, to run high-voltage cables vertically down to the baseboard)
1cm (0.4 inches) between the side panel boards and the wall (for example, to route a light cable from the baseboard behind a tall cabinet to the countertop lighting)
Only the four plastic blocks (nailed at the bottom, attached to the mounting brackets at the top) are directly against the wall, or the mounting rails.

With the cover panels, the visible gap between the side panels becomes invisible.
The METOD kitchen system is very well designed for electrical outlets, cable management, ventilation behind damp walls, and so on; with the Faktum system, all of this was much more laborious.
