look in your engine bay. while your looking at it look to the left. you'll see a bunch of wires goin through the firewall. thats where the amp wire is gonna go through. it comes out right behind the glovebox then just pull it through. now its is very hard to get it through so try to tie the wire to a clothes hanger thats been stretched out. then use the hanger to get the wire through the hole. hope this helps

no prob man. i was lucky i had someone else do it for me the first time but when i upgraded wires i just tied my new 4gauge wire to the old 8guage wire and just pulled it through.

u mean the firewall hole?

u have to pull the rubber out of the hole then fit the wires through

he already did it. i never thought of taking the rubber peice off though. probably would make it easier since it'll give a little more room to play with.

if you take the rubber out make sure you run all the wires through a rubber grommet so they dont rub on the metal fire wall and cut the shielding and cause a short.

heh! to be exact! i used the house grounding wire

therefore the strenght of the wire cuted the rubber and it was easy becouse i made it look like a hook

then little silicone to prevent water to come in and all done!

the hard and funny part is to buy a new speakers couse in my old one (S SWIFT) i had 4x 100w sony and i forgot to take it out becouse i had an express sell

(only thing that makes me happy is that i managed to get cca 1000$ for that peace of yunk)

[b]p.s. i must say that i newer in any forum found ppl that want to help someone like here ( U ALL RULE )[/b]
