Thumbs up Car audio Installation

Where did you guys and gals run your power wire thru the firewall at?
Did you use an existing hole and grommet or did you make your own?

Thanks

Pull the panel where a normal glove box would be. You should see it then. 8 ball did that part of the install.

Carefully cut the tape from the bundle behind the battery. Get about 3 foot of heavy wire. Bend one end of the wire so the is no sharp edge. Get the bend as small as possible. Tape your power wire to the other end of the wire. Now lube the bent end of the wire and the bundle and work the wire through the bundle. You may need to try several times before it goes through.

You'll know once your through. Move passenger seat all the way back and stick your head under the console. You should see the wire. One person continue feeding from the engine bay while the other keep pulling into the cabin
