GymJunkie Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 (edited) So Im going to drill through the firewall in my caddy to wire up my OLD Visonik subs just because I cant stand having no bass at all (temporary until I get a new job and can afford the DC Audio subs), would this be a good area to drill through? I was going to drill underneath the wires (bout 1 inch lower) but for all I know there could be 2 layers of metal and something important in between them and I obviously dont want to drill into anything other than metal. Inside the car Engine bay This is on the far passenger side Edited April 4, 2010 by Velvetdreams21 Quote 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

thebiggmann12 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 or drill right above those wires, since it is easily accessable and there isnt anything there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GymJunkie Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 drivers side. clutch knock out panel. i want to try and keep everything on one side of the car otherwise Im a bit worried I wont have enuf wire. The battery and the area easily acessible to the trunk behind the seat is on the passanger side yes this or look for drain plugs Drain plugs? Sorry, dont know a whole lot of what to look for or drill right above those wires, since it is easily accessable and there isnt anything there. You sure there is nothing above? I havent really looked yet, can anyone confirm? No offense at all man, I just want to be damn sure before I go drilling into things Quote 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

BeatBox Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 well just make sure there is NOTHING in the way. if you used the drivers side u can pass the power cable thru the hole that is used to get the "hood unlache" wire thru to the outside/inside. on the driver side look for the hole used to run the AC lines, thats what I used.... hope this helps GL!

GymJunkie Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Ok Im sure a lot of you will facepalm with this question but its been a long time since Ive hooked one of these up, on the Audio cables that run from the HU to the amp, whats this third wire again? well just make sure there is NOTHING in the way. if you used the drivers side u can pass the power cable thru the hole that is used to get the "hood unlache" wire thru to the outside/inside. on the driver side look for the hole used to run the AC lines, thats what I used.... hope this helps GL! I just fear I wont have nearly enuf cable otherwise I would definitely do it. I just barely had enuf cable when I hooked it into my bonneville and the caddy is longer Quote 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

gbsx Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 3rd wire would be remote I believe. You have your RCA's and then remote to turn on your amp. I don't know about the drilling though. Good Luck to you.

Soulman07 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I don't know what year model caddy you have.. I have a 94 Sedan Deville though. I went through passenger side floor board, because the battery was mounted on the passenger side of the car.. 14 foot run to the trunk. Wasn't too terribly bad.
