2005 TSX 5AT...No hole in firewall to run amp power wire?
I noticed that in Ortiz's picture, he was able to run the amp power wire through a tiny hole next to the TSX's main harness... here's the picture:
however, I just went to look under the dash of my 2005 TSX 5speed auto, and there's NO little hole like that next to the main harness...i removed the rubber oval plate and all I saw was a sealed firewall....
can anyone else confirm this? maybe ortiz had a 2003 or 2004 tsx? and the new 2005 tsx's , they got rid of the hole?
so whats the 2nd best way of running the power wire, WITHOUT trying to go through the main harness ...becuz that is my last resort....
thanks

I think he drilled that hole! I put a tiny slit on the right hand side of that boot and slid my power wire through from inside the cab out to the engine bay. It was very easy.

arghh okay...i guess i'll have to do that then...although i dunt want to.... what about ground wire, did you happen to find one in the trunk? such as where the seat is bolted down to the frame?

There are a couple of grounds in the trunk to be used. I used a ground under the trunk carpet above the gas tank at first. It is the most accessable one. All you have to do is lift the carpet covering the spare tire and look towards the front of the trunk. Then there is another ground where the seat bolts to the car.
When you cut a slit in the boot make it small, just enough to push the wire through. Mine is small enough that if I ever pull out the wire it will look like there isnt even a cut in it.

i have two 6 feet tie straps and i noticed that there are these silver ring hooks in the trunk ... i prefer NOT to cut into factory carpet or plastic material....

You will also need to tap in to the OEM amp for the remote wire. It's located under the "Not an ashtray."
