hello, im new, my first post . i just got my integra 2 weeks ago: 2000 integra 2 door LS. im planning to install 2 amps in there but im stuck at the first part of the installation which is getting the power wire (4 gage) through the firewall. can anyone show or help me with some picture or soemthing about how to get the wire through the firewall? much appreciation if anyone could.

i dont have a pic, and cant really take one seeing that my car was stolen a while back. but just below the battery tray, you will see a small rubber plug in the firewall. remove it and viola, a passageway into the cabin!

so that means i have to take the battery out and slide the wire in through there right? do i need to remove the glove box also if i do that?

XSrcing

no, you dont have to remove the battery. and the glove box can stay in. but it is a squeez between the firewall and HVAC housing.

ok so it should fit a 4 guage power wire with no problem, right? and the wire would come out from under the glove box, correct? if its like that, i will do it tomorrow morning after i wake up. i read also on the thread of ppl that wants to know what kind of equipment they got, heres mine:

kenwood kdc-x915 excelon HU
all Monster Cable wire/RCA
single 12" JL audio W7
2 set infinity (reference) 6010cs 6.5" component speakers
4 channel kenwood excelon amp
2 channel kenwood excelon amp
1/2 faret monster cable capacitor
4 way power distributor

i got 2 4-awg power wires through it.

and i dont think your .5 farad cap is going to cut it.

ok so 1/2 faret isnt good enough, how about 1 faret?

XSrcing

i had a 1 farad for just my subs. i was running 1000 watts rms to them by way of a memphis audio amp and it wasnt near enough for that. i dont know the power you are pushing. but if you are going to push the W7 the right way, then i dont think a 1 farad would be big enough for you either.

tegbooster

maybe a 1 farad per sub would be sufficient...but then again, it all depends on how much ur pushing those subs and how much pwr is hitin them

sai402

well its just 1 single JL 12" W7. i think 1 faret is enough. i just put the power wire from the battery inside of the car, it was simple once we found the right hole and remove the battery but we got it in there. im planning to run the REMOTE and the RCA tomorrow, should i run the REMOTE wire along side the power wire or the RCA?
