I can't find the damn hole to put the power wire through, I've searched all up under that dash.

The grommet for the power wire to the amp? I can probably take a picture for you. |

Up under the dash from the interior theres a HUGE bundle of wires that come through. I just put a slit in the rubber and ran my power thru it by itself.

i found it easier to put a coat hanger in through from the passanger compartment, bend it so you can grab it w/ pliers from the engine side, firmly crimp the coat hanger around the end inch (or so) of wire, then go back into the passanger compartment, pull slowly until its "tight" then one quick yank, should pop it through the grommet.
...if you haven't got it yet....

I did it. Thanks for your help guys.
Took half a roll of tape around the wire and hauled it down through.
I've got all the wires run, just not hooked up, Except for the remote and RCA's.
Need to pick up some Speaker wire (10g??) and Mount the Amp on the enclosure, then wire what I can in here, then finish the install. Hoping to do all that tomorrow.

speaking of which... does anyone know where to find some decent speaker wire? a good price, decent length ~14ga?? PREFERABLY different colors (silver/blue, red/black etc) i hate having to find the tiny writing on a wire to tell if its the +/-
monoprice.com has a decent price on 100ft of 16ga.... (like $11) but the downside is its $9 shipping.  makes me wish there were more wire stores in wny. (except for RS, cuz we don't carry CRAP for wire) |

Hey guys, Some pics for you.
And Yes, I used a Scoche Wiring Kit. It worked fine.
For esthetics I should ditch the emergency kit and the Booster cables, and maybe the snow shovel.
But this is Canada. I'm not stupid. |

tuck them under the carpet as much as possible. just make it look neater.
and yes, i would keep all the emergency stuff. unpredictable weather over rules aesthetics.

They're hidden a bit better now, that was the first part it was functioning. I'm going to hide them completely eventually.
You can also see the rust hole under the hood latch.
Wonder how much that's going to cost me to fix?
