    amp power cable routing?

    hi, can anyone tell me where they are running their amp power cable that attaches to the battery? On my civic i had a little bung hole that came through to passenger foot well, and i ran the cable through there, under the carpets along the side, but i can seem to find a bung hole on my cb?

    any help guys?

    thanks in advance

    Thats' exactly how I ran mine.

    The "bung" hole is there... just lift the carpet up from the passenger side firewall, and you should see it.
    It's not hiding or anything.

      if you have factory fog lights installed on your accord, chances are that hole is in use already. But from the engine bay, look for the charcoal canister, inside the car it's near the ECU or above it i can't remember for sure.

        It's slightly above, and a bit to the left.

            im used to alway running the power wire down the driver side, so i'll either go thru the factory wire boot, or make my own hole. but drilling is not recommended if not necessary

                I had mine ran through where the shifter cables run under center of the car. Never had a single problem. Just make sure if you do it that way, you keep it above the exhaust heat shield.

                  In mine that access hole is under(behind) ecu,so I ran it along firewall and came through the one on driverside by the fuse box under dash,then ran it under the carpet to trunk.

                    seems like you guys are using extra wire to pass it on the drivers side when its not needed. theres a gromet on the passenger side, its oval shaped, slice a line in it with an exacto, tape a coat hanger to the end of your wire and feed it through. if you peel back the carpet under your dash, you'll see your coat hanger and wire come through, just pull on it and there you go, feed it along side under the carpet and under the rear seat and itll come out in your trunk.

                      yeah slice a little hole thru the plastic over thing. don't just take it out because you'll hear engine noise later =[

                      but yeah i ran a thick ass wire thru the plastic gourmet thing..

                        lol. I don't know how many times I've use the "Tape the wire to a metal coat hanger" trick.

                            sometimes this is done for sound quality reasons.
                            when you run a power cable parallel to the signal cable, the signal cable can pick up noise from the power.
                            people going for the cleanest audio quality usually run power on one side of the car, and signal on the other.

                              or once again you could save wire length and pass the RCAs and remote wire down the center.
