Hey ya, just wanted to ask how you ran the power cable from the battery to the amp in your trunk. I got my stuff but need to install it. Thanks.

 

Do a search, I believe there is a thread about this topic :-)

 

There's a grommet behind the battery cover. This one is easier to get thru than the one mentioned in the double-din conversion guide.

 

Hmmmm....I don't remember mentioning any amp wiring or grommet stuff in my DD DIY guide...did I?!?!?

thanks, that grommet leads to the passenger side right? Thanks.

 

yes becareful when removing it I broke the clips that hold it in place when trying to take it off.

 

Sorry doc,

I remembered after I posted that the amps & wiring were in a different DIY. I printed out a bunch of DIY's at the same time when I did the conversion, so they were all mixed up in my head. Your's was right on the money

Yeah, it the passenger side. Wires come straight down into the cabin. Very easy!!!

 

no prob, i was just trying to think if I did mention that.....its been so long since I wrote that up....lol

doc

 

Thanks ya, I got my system hooked up today. I just punctured a small slit on the grommet. It WAS ez. Thanks.

 

On my car, rather than punch a hole, I unwrapped all the goopy tape and inserted the amp wire in the rubber sleeve. There was no need to damage the weather seal or grommet. A bit messy, but this is a spot that needs to be well sealed to prevent leaks in heavy rains. Given that you've already cut the grommet, you might want to add some silicon RTV to the cut point to make sure you don't get a leak.
