where should i stick the wire through. i have a 4 bagger so the bat is on the passanger side... i havent even looked at my engine area so just thought i would ask...

 

You gotta either make a new hole on the passenger side and run it that way, or make sure you got enough cable and round it around to the driver side which is there the hole is in the firewall. As long as you run it nice and hide the cable good it won't matter, that's how I have mine. Just make sure you have enough cable. I'm talking about the 5 gen. I don't know if the different gens have the harness come in through the firewall on the the passenger side.

 

i brought mine through the passenger side door... if you take a couple screws out of the front right corner panel and squeez the wire through the top and into the cabin, then run it up under the dash then down under the floor moldings.. probly not the way the pro's do it... but it works and you cant tell unless you open the passenger door and look...

 

ok so the amp and sub are all installed when my friend had it before . he mouted the amp to the sub box. now there are like 4 holes in the box. does that effect the performance of the sub ? should i get a new box ?

 

nonsense... I have a 5th gen accord and there most certainly is a hole in the firewall on the passenger side. There is a rubber gromet right in the center, about 10 inches off the floor. A bunch of other cables already go through this gromet, so you'll have to work it to get it through, but you can do it.


And yes, if you have a sealed box thats falling apart, its gonna sound like crap. Ported boxes are designed specifically to maximize SPL, but sealed boxes with holes maximize nothing.

 

it will on a very small level, but you won't be able to tell... so dont worry about it.

 

If the holes go all the way through into the box, you should fill them with some wood glue that you can find at Home Depot or Lowes. It could cause whistling when the sub is operating, depending on how big the holes are. It's not absolutely necessary that you replace the box, but it's pretty easy to build a simple sealed box to spec if you want to go that route.

 

Why not just put 4 wood screws that will be flush on the box? and add some glue or some type of sealer to make sure the screws are making the box airtight again. I asume the holes are in the top or in the back. So the screws put in flush would not be noticable. Use black ones.
