running wires

hey guys im running my wires for my amp kit and i was wondering whats the best way to get my power wire to the trunk for the amp? which way did everyone go? i did it in my accord but it was a 4 door so it was much easier to run it in the sills and get it to the trunk...seems like it might be a challenge on this car. and whats everyones experience with running a subwoofer with amp off the stock headunit while using one of those modulators where you hook up the amp RCAs through the speakers on the rear deck? thanks alot

werd. its just like your accord man. just tear up the door sills and run the wire under it. as for the LOC, iv done it in a 4runner with no problems but once i switched the headunit it sounded alot better. lots of members have done it this way. so it should be fine

well i know how to get it through the firewall but where i run into the prob is the back seat cause on my 4dr accord the back sills ran all the way to underneath the seat. my CLS doesnt do that i dont think how did you guys get from the end of the front door sill to the trunk? thats where im havin troubles. oh i also had an idea of putting a full band eq in for the amp...i think that might make it sound alot like what it would with an aftermarket headunit or maybe even better

Can't you go from the R sills up into the side panel and then over into the seat? There's a wire channel there somewhere for the rear of the car...

It should be on a credit card size card that came with the OM... otherwise you ahve to go to the dealer and show them your reg so they can run the VIN in the database and retrieve it.

That sucks dude, sorry, only way I know is to get it from the dealer.
