I am not up much on the sub boxes.
But start with a large fuse at battery and good wire to carry the load.
Then start at battery and drop wire into lower firewall and then under carpet to back seat. then remove back seat and feed it on into trunk.
Just get it installed where it does not pinch or rub anyplace.
And then see if your alternator is big enough to carry the load.:grinyes:
Good luck

What is Boxing Day about? Is it actually about boxing? Im ignorant in Canadian.

:1:

I have no clue what boxing day is but it's the day after x mas and like everystore has huge deals on stuff. some stores have like 50% off everything

and if ur alternator cant handle it, thats what capacitors are for. either a .5 or 1 farad cap should do the trick, depending on how much power ur amp puts out. but i agree with mt, just push it thru the firewall and under the carpet and then feed it into the trunk. kinda a lot of work, but well worth it.

Just buy and amp wiring kit and go from there. It will come with everything you need. In the kit there is a 12v power wire with a inline fuse in it, just attach that to the battery and like someone else said run the wire through the firewall and I what I did was run the wire under the trim.

Haha, Im not kidding you I did this exact thing last night... In the dark, I wont tell the story here, but I do have pictures and might creat a post about my exciting adventure on that one (involves me geting locked out, breaking a finger, adn tons of other stuff...)

Any how, on my 92 I just ran a heavy wire hooked up from my battery, up the drivers side fender (on the inside of corse) some how jammed it through to where the crease in the door is, poked a hole in that little rubber cover that holds all the wires running to the door, got it on the inside, then ran it down under the plastic by the door, all the way back to my trunk, only tools I need was a knife to cut the rubber, a ratchet for my batters, and a screw driver to put the wire on my amp... easy as slick...

hahaha im glad i didn't break my finger trying to do mine but i ran the wires the exact same way as u did n found 5 dollars in the back seat of my car while doing it.

Haha yea, breaking my finger kinda sucked, but I guess thats what I get for trying to do it in the pitch dark...

... I wish I'd found five bucks when I did it :frown: That woulda payed for my Ice cream I went and got after words to reward myself.. haha :)

hahha it paid for mc donalds probally lol ya man i have the craziest story on how i broke my toe i was running up the stairs for something n got to the top stepped on a magazine n slipped back on it and fell down all the stairs n some how only broke my toe

I seriously hate when people run the fuckin wires through the damn fenders and the doors!! :disappoin Just do it the correct way and find a hole in the damn firewall.

I did put it thru a hole in the fire wall

haha, never broke anythign falling down the stairs befor, kinda wonder how you did that... lol

I did put it thru a hole in the fire wallI wasnt talking about you, and you dont need to put your own hole but I guess that works. I was talking about what that other dude said.....

What is so wrong with the way I did it? Im not going to wast my sweet ass time trying to find a damn hole in the fire wall when I have a perfectly fine hole just doing it the way I did it. And tell me, where is there a nice hole that I could fit my wire thru, in the fire wall, going inside, thats easy to get at? I saw one, but there was no way in hell I was geting my wire in that hole, and I dont have the tools to make a hole, so, if you ask me, I like my way best...

There is a perfectly good hole right where the steering coloum goes through the firewall, a nice big gromet.

There is a nice hole where I went too... if I had run it thru where you said, in broad day light anyone could look down and see that, where as where I put it, the only way to see it is when you open the door, and fish it out, so basically you have to know its there in-order to see it.. I dont know, you people can run the wire where ever you please, just dont bash my way of doing it, just because you dont like it..

No not ne one can see the wire if you run it the way I said because you the HIDE the wire.

You know, Im not going to get in a fight with you over it, its retarted, you do it your way, Ill do it my way. its all just a matter of preferance, and I like my way better then going through where you said.
