i ran my power wire through the rubber grommet where the wires to the pcm go. i got it through but the grommet came lose and now i cant get it back into place. the rubber is so thick and hard i cant get enough force to flex it back into the firewall hole any tips tricks ideas?

use a screw driver to help push small sections of it back in? Might work.

random question my headunit has a option to turn the amp inside it off. with that i dont have to disconnect the wires on the radio harness for the speakers do i since i was going to run new speaker wire from the amp im installing straight to the speakers themselves. also my amp has 2 30 amp fuses in it so i need a 60 amp in my power wire fuse right? the amp kit came with a 150 but i think thats too much.

Acutally, you pull the black part out of the grey part... Then you re-seat the grommet to the firewall.. Then re-install the black part.
