RE: Running Amp Power cord
Gah, this thread depresses me. I've got all my equipment ready to go in, but I'm scared to death to do anything like this right now because of stupid *&%^(*&ing leak. I just KNOW if I start running wires in that area that the dealership will try to pin the leak problem on me. Very depressing indeed.

Anyway, great informative thread, as I have been wondering the same thing. PROMETHEUS PRIME, I'm curious as to where you stashed your switch. I'm thinking about doing the same thing for flexibility (actually already bought a switch, but have been trying to figure out where to put it!).

I know someone else on the board put their switches in the center console mounted on the little detatchable black panel inside. Very nice. I put mine between my center A/C vents.
You can see it in this video right arount a minute into it.

RE: Running Amp Power cord
Hiya,
I have a 0g wire running from my front battery to me rear battery. Used the same grommet on the passenger side. Then ran it under the door sill cover, and then under the rear seat.
As for the Acc wire, its the solid red wire going into the HU. I tapped into it there because you have to get back their anyways to hook up the RCA wires for the sub (unless you want to convert the signal going to the rear speakers). Mine for example, I have the 2 RCA Audio out, 2 RCA Audio in, Video in, and Acc Wire running from my HU to my trunk. Routed under the center console and nder the back seat.

RE: Running Amp Power cord
Anyone put dynamat in their trunk or on their doors? My door speakers rattle a little bit...it's not excessive, but enough to annoy me. Thought putting dynamat in might help. Also want to put it in the trunk once I get some subs. I can imagine the trunk is fairly easy to install, but what about the doors? I've never removed door panels or anything before. Should I just take it to the dealer or some place like Best Buy and have them do it?

RE: Running Amp Power cord
Im sticking with the stock HU (for now at least) So whats my best bet for hooking up the ACC wire, Prime said he tapped an only hot when running circuit, does this me he jacked into the fusebox??
Also for those looking for the unused grommet, it is not behind the battery, it is about 6in below and 6in to the drivers side, you cant miss it.
