P.S. and yes I did a search but came up short.

 

I did my own as well as a few other friends cars.

I started with my oem radio and then moved up to a Eclipse DD.

0-ga to the amp came in just below the ECU (had to pull the battery). Ran down the pass side to a distribution block in the upper passenger side of the trunk just in front of the wheel well.

 

Hey ttrank im using a 4-ga. so theres an opening behind the batter or in that area?

Thanks,

Doubtful but you can still make a hole and use a gromet for the 4-ga. Just make sure you don't hit the ECU wires. It is not hard, just double check before you drill.

 

here a pic of the rubber gromet thats behind the battery. just unwrap the electrical tape and retape when you're done. so simple and no drilling.

 

Thanks guys for your info. I worked on my system today and found a very easy way with no drill or take out the bat. Ill post up pics. later but if you lift up your carpet and the white one there is a hole with a plastic piece take that out and it will lead you to your weel well, take the plastic part off behind the wheel. sorry dont know what its called and if you look there is a ruber piece that is just hangin there that will lead you to your bat. area. took me 1hr. to install everything.

Thanks again for your help guys.
