I want to install a sub and amp into my P5. I'm looking for suggestions as to where to run the power wire to the battery through the front firewall, passenger cabin, etc.
^Take off the door panel, run it where all the other wires are... There is a large grommet that goes thru the door into the front dash.
It sounds like you haven't done much wiring b4. My advice: just start taking s*** apart (be careful and remember where it comes from, lol) and just play with s***. Thats how I learned. Just taking s*** apart in my free time.
Take apart the console, door panels, dash and check out where all the wires are run. Then map out where you want to run your setup. Its all dependent on where your installing the amp. The less (shorter) wires the better.
Who (omitting major audio comp competitors) would install an amp in their door? There is no reason to be running power wire into the door... He did say power wire, not speaker wire.
I usually go thru the middle console personally. But I have seen some people who dislike running all of their wires there. It does get pretty hot by the shifter...
I was thinking under the doorsills, sorry. I just saw that guy above said door and I didn't think twice about the meaning, ha. I had my power wires in my fc ran under the door sills and up thru the door & dash. But I see what you're saying, idk what exactly I was thinkin. I'm out of my element today. I think I'm just gonna go take a nap. (burnout)
Yes sir, under the door sills- that makes a lot more sense! haha(cheers)
I can't blame you. I, too, was like "WTF, I'm not putting my amp in my door". I guess the answer I was looking for was to find grommets under the driver side dash. I'll do that this weekend. Thanks for all of the input.
And on a side note, the remote wire is a POWER wire, it does not have a noise signal in it. Therefore it will distort your RCA's and speaker wires' signals. So the remote + power wires should be ran on the left side of your care, and the speaker wires + rca's ran on the right side.
