Default Need suggestions on wire running.

I would like to see some pictures of where you guys ran your wires from the front to the back of the car to the amp/sub.

I don't know if I want to go the driver or passenger side.


Pictures would be great.


Thanks.

You'll need to run the RCAs on one side and the power cable on the other cause if you don't, you'll have "noise" or humming when the speakers are playing.

Bro, there's threads about this!!!

There are grommets on each side of the engine bay. Put your hand on the fuse box under the hood on the driver's side of the bay. Follow all the wires that come out of it with your hand. Voila! Found! There's a little nipple that you can snip and poke wire through. If you're using anything larger than 8awg, I recommend feeding the wire from the inside of the car to the engine bay. That way you're not feeding a bunch of wire through a tiny hole.

I have my 1/0awg through my passenger side (I didn't know there was a spot on the driver's side last year... ) and in my door sills. The door sills have kind of clips with a TON of extra room.

Easy, bro!


Just for all that, I'll PM you my address so you can send your air bag setup.
