REQ: Pictorial DIY for running wire to trunk

I know gordgee did a DIY article for running cable but it has no pictures of where to route stuff, what to remove, etc

i grasp things a lot better when I see some pictures so I would appreciate it if someone could post some before I dive in


edit: This is specifically for a coupe btw

i'm really lazy right now (apparently all you can eat ribs can wear a man out, ha), but over the summer before the site was redone, NYCg35 i think posted a DIY, I saved it on my laptop to have right at my car while i was wiring my stuff up. The pics are gone now with the site switch, but i have them all since i saved it. Send me a PM to remind me and I'll try and hook up my laptop tomorrow maybe to send it back to my desktop and post them.

Instead of a PM, how about just re-up those pics to the forum. Im sure there are a lot of people who would benefit from it. I personally would love to see them since I have a sub and amp just waiting to be installed

Ya, these pics need to be shared for everyone
Really is annoying how all the old pics dont work; makes the DIY section useless

ok so this is just straight copy paste cause rewriting would take a while and converting all the pictures was time consuming enough

OK everyone this took me a long time to document I took as many detailed pics as I could and as I promised after my How-to remove your back seats,side panels, and back dash DIY.

I promised a Stereo install...for the Coupe..Dont know if Im too late but here it goes...Some of this requires you to know a little about Car stereo.....But I did it step by step as best I could.....
My system I just added and EQ 2 AMPs and a Bass tube. I want to keep my stock radio.

I will update this post tomorrow...Tonight I only have time to post Running Power, adding a Cap, fuse holder, dis-block, and Grounding...plus some ideas some may be able to use
All to make LIFE easier...as usual...just tryin to help...

MIND YOU I Finished the install but the audio portion will be added tomorrow....

STEP 1: Getting thru that damn FIREWALL!!...LOL

Lexus for my luxury and G35 Coupe for my speed. I must say...Life is not always a B!TCH

Of course you do not connect the other end of that wire to the battery until after all power lines are run....

You may need to shave some of the kick panel off (where it meets the door sill and the floor) to fit the wire down under it to then go under the door sill , you'll see what I mean if you run the power this way
