Hey guys, I will be installing a sub/amp tomorrow and before I jump on it, I just wanted to know where you guys ran your amp power wire thru. If any of you can help out, that would be great, pics if you have those as well. Thanks

 

i ran my amp power wire through the drivers side, my rca cables through the middle and my speaker wire through the passenger side. i gutted my interior to do my system.

 

i actually did mine earlier today. i ran my power wire through the driver side (above the gas pedal approx. 2 inches up and on the right)

 

I ran mines on the driver's site. Go down to where your pedals are at, flash some light down there and there's a grommet. Pull it out and run your power wire thru there and along the driver side.

 

ok sounds like you guys used the same spot, so from the engine bay, is it on the drivers side but low? Would I have to go under the car to reach that spot or can I get to it from up top? thanks

 

you dont have to go under the car. just look by the pedals and you'll see a rubber grommet that has a harness going from the engine to the inside of the car. run it next to that. i usually go inside and use a flat head to poke through the grommet and then check it under the hood just to see where its coming out and where you can run the power wire.

 

yup everyones right about the spot by the pedal.
heres a good tip that i use everytime i install a stereo.

Take an old metal coat hanger and untwist it so you have a long piece of somewhat straight metal. sharpen 1 end with a dremel or grinding wheel and using needle nose pliers bend a small loop on the other end. shave some strands off your power wire and insert that end in to the loop. poke the sharp end slowly and carefully through the rubber grommet and voila. pull the other end out your engine bay. done!
be careful your dont peirce any factory wiring or lines with the sharp end of the hanger.

 

i am going to do that right now, the right way

cus i have mine threaded through the door fender and stuff under my door jam under the plastic foot plate - epic fail

 

i just finished running it the right way, was easy too. thanks for this thread

 

sweet, thanks for the replies guys, at least more than one person got something out of this.

 

Just my

 

Ya this is goo to know, i plan on doing this soon. A pic or two would be ideal though.

 

Nice way to get your post count up haha.

 

I'm assuming you guys took out the selt in order to run the cables back?

 

definitely recommended
