For those of you that have an amp in your car, where do you have the power cable running? Currently, mine is going through the fender and into the door post. I know this isn't the best place to run it, but I can't find anywhere in the firewall; and I don't want to go drilling holes.

to the battery. I popped up the plastic piece where the wires run next to the door sill. It then goes behind the carpet through a hole drilled in the firewall

the wire runs next to the driver's seat, pop the plastic piece up, there are wires already in there. It then runs behind the fuse box (I think) and behind the carpet into the firewall

just remember.. if you are running amp power.. keep that cable away from your speaker and input wires or you will get a hum you will never get rid of. If you have to cross the input (data) and power.. do it at a right angle if at all possible.. this avoids magnetic resonance between the two.

I never found them either! I have mine running through the hole that is in the center of the firewall, behind the throttle body.

Same, i have a small hole (big enough for 2 amp power wires) entering the car right behind the top of the brake pedal linkage. Just drill one there, you can HARDLY see it when nothing is in it and it wont hurt anything.. From there, i run mine down the drivers kick panel back to the rear seat area.. I have my RCA's running down the right side.
