codi Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 heyy every one, i was wondering if any one knew the best place to run my power wires to keep them hidden well and getting through the fire wall. and also what would be the best way to face my sub. i own a 99 civic si and a 12" L5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tequila Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) i ran my 2ga power cable through a rubber gromet where existing wires go through, behind the glove compartment . if you take a peek you might see the wires going through there already. if you route the cable through there itll pop out just below the battery tray. edit: since uve got a trunk car i would aim the port towards the seats. but its better to experiment a little bit with the subwoofer placement, move it around and see what sounds best.

jmitch Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 one other question, since i have never amped my speakers before. should i run the speaker wire along the side with the power wire or with the rca wires? i normally run mine down the middle of the car but i would say its better to run with the RCAs Quote I know a lil about everything so dont call me Mr. Know it All.

Zade08 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Separate them. Run your power and remote wire down the passenger side of your cars door jam then run the rca and speaker wires down the driver side door jam. If you get your power wires and rcas too close together you can get engine noise in your speakers. Quote Vehicle: 2001 Ford Escape Head Unit: Kenwood Kdc-x592 All out for a rebuild.
