i have a 2 or 4 gauge wire running to my amp i need to know where you guys usually put it through your fire wall and where you guys run all your amp wires from teh back of the deck please respond im in desperate help......a nice clean run to not no ghetto rig ____ thanks guys

 

I would normaly run the wire through a plastic groument. I normaly drill a hole and run the wire trough it using a plastic groument then i run the wires down the treshold pannel and under the rear seat or side pannel. What ever you do or how you run it do not run the power wire and the rca'a on the same side of the car YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE WHIN. If you have any more questions feel free to pm me any time. Hope this helps!!!!!!!

as for running the power wire. theres a rubber boot above the pedals. You should see it, run the wire through there. Do you have 2 or 4awg? You dont know what you have?

 

or you could use the grommet behind the glove box near the ecu

 

i ran my power for my amp through the hood latch thingy (follow your latch that opens the hood near your pedals, this will lead you to a grommet, slit a small hole in there and then feed the wire through there. it will lead to behind your driver side strut.). then from the incision, i ran my power on the driver side of the car, then behind the back seats and finally into the little cubby hole on the right side of the trunk. and thats my power run. lol

 

My problem with that, is that no matter what side of the car you run your RCAs you're going to get interference from the power cord being so close to the deck. Plus you're going to have to wrap the cord around the back side of the engine to get it to the battery, and I can't say I want to do that.

 

i ran all my power on the driver side of my car and my RCAs on the passenger side. no interference . i plan to upgrade my wires also to even more isolate the interference.

 

Well i'm an idiot. I remembered you can just run the power on the right instead, and RCAs left.

 

it doesnt matter what side, just not on the same side!

 

I ran my power wire through the hole above the pedals, routing it through and above the pedals so there would be nothing to get snagged on. I ran the remoteturn on and power down the driver side, and the rcas down the left, through the plastic pannels, then under the back seat. and they come out through one of the holes into the spare tire cubby, i have my amp mounted in there, and cut holes in the styrafoam to put the wires through, and the speaker wires i just have under the little cardboard like thing that leans against the backseats when you recline them, theres a slit toward the middle. a good place to look is mando's interior stripping post, you can find it in the tech secition.

Mandos, what size battery are you running. I was thinking about picking up a optima and the Tsunami battery top

 

Yellow Top, D34/78 I think it is.
