i was in the middle of installing my amp today but cannot find a place to run the power wire. where exactly do you run the power wire through the firewall? can i drill a small hole on the pass side? also do i need to remove the rear seat in order to get power wire through that area?

yes to all.did you check out the thread on carsound.wish i could explain things better.

Post by **j30t** » Tue Apr 01, 2003 4:33 pm

that carsound threas is about crossover frequencies and stuff not about installing an amp. im just wondering if you have a pic or anything of the exact place you drilled because it looks liek on the pass side there is a bunch of stuff that could be drilled in to if you arent in the right spot. is this right?

sure is,.a previouse thread says were i did mine.i drilled frm inside out once i found a good spot.take off the big flat plastic piece under glove box that will help.by the way the other threrad is about installing pillar tweets,thought you might find it interesting,but,guess not.

oh...well that just really got me confused...im gonna take your word for it and install my tweeters closer to the midbass and not in the pillars. most likely about 4 or 5 inches from the 6.5. thanks for all the help by the way. is there anything i may drill into under the glove box? dont wanna screw anything up.

Post by **j30t** » Tue Apr 01, 2003 4:33 pm

diamond...how hard exactly is it to drill through? and what is the best way to go about drilling? start with a small bit and work up to the size i need? thanks

its easy,do what you mentioned.use a center punch and then drill so you dont drift into anything down there.need an adapter for my camera.****.

Post by **j30t** » Tue Apr 01, 2003 4:33 pm

ok man...how much room do i have to drill in? im still worried about hitting into something.

Website · Post by **diamondj30** » Tue Apr 01, 2003 4:33 pm
