Default Power cable

Any one know what is the best location for an aftermarket amp power cable to go through the firewall in a 2003 honda accord?

Thanks

Check on the drivers side, should be a grommet there somewhere down low.

Cool, thanks I'll take a look again; maybe this time from under the car. (Everything is so cramped in the engine bay).

2003 is a biatch to get to. passenger side, high up the firewall. Look in the engine bay for a huge grommet. take a knife, carfully cut and spray (drench) it with wd-40, the cable will slide through with a breeze.

Thanks. I got the chance to finish the install yesterday and the subs are pounding loud and clear using the factory deck with a converter to the amp.

nice. if you used a converter, the ocnverter is used to change high input to low outputs (RCA). however, what goes through your speaker, will go to your subs. this is because the HI-to-LOW does not filter anything after 80hz which is normally used for subwoofers since subs take 80 or less hertz. go to your local best buy or futureshop or even 2001 audio video and ask them for 80hz Octaves. this will help you get tigher more clean bass as you filter all the treble out. This can also be set on the amp.
