Running Power Cable??
I have a 1999 Honda Accord and want to run the power cable from the battery to the trunk. What do you all suggest, which side, and where should I drill the hole on the fire wall. I have already ran the cable on the passenger side to the truck, but left enough slack and rolled the cable and tucked it in the fuse compartment. Thanks
I'm having trouble finding a spot to go through the firewall.
How difficult is it to remove the glove box?

As for removing the glove box is easy.
then look for a hole already going thru your firewall and use that one.
What size wire did you run already?
What size amp do you plan on using? ( watts )
((Example a 4 guage size wire will handle up to 1400 watts to a single amp.))
I recommend a 4 guage wire for any thing lease then 1400 watt amp.
You will not have trouble with the resistance to your amp with that size wire.
As for great set of Subs and amp look here.

try to find a hole thats already there (in my integra there is one next to the battery) run the power on the OPPSITE side of the RCA you can run it up the side of the car, through the kicker, near the trunk release, past the back seat into the trunk. Or you can take out the seats and run it right under the drivers seat, under the carpet, under the back seat (what I did) goodluck with it! its not that bad.

ok, since its a auto, look under you dash on the fire wall on the drivers side. there should be a knock out panel on the fire wall(sometimes covered by sound deadening material) that looks like a big hole but its covered with two smaller ones on the top and bottom. there is where the clutch master cylinder would go if you car were a 5spd. its kinda by the brake master cylinder but more to the outside of the car rather than the center. you can drill a hole right through that bigger center hole. this is the easiest and best spot to drill. be careful not to hit the brake master cylinder while you do this. also, a unibit($40 from sears or maybe cheaper at like home depot or something) or step drill bit works best because its small and short and its a step drill bit. hope this helps.
