Hey guys I'm thinking about installing my sub from my old car. Nothing to fancy a 10in MTX with a 200 Watt Amp in a very small enclosure. I've read where people run the power wire down the passenger side of the car using the gromet behind the glovebox next to the rear windshield washer fluid hose.
2 questions...
1 How did everyone safely route the power wire from the driver's side to the passenger side of the engine compartment? Every car I've installed up to now the battery has been on the same side as where I ran the wire into the vehicle. I don't see anything good to piggyback and zip tie. I don't think Air Conditioning lines are a smart call because one gets super hot and the other gets super cold.
2. Where is everyone grounding? I typically run a small self tapping screw in the trunk pan and put RTV or silicone over the screw head. With all the electronics in this car I don't know if there are batteries or anything under there to worry about.
My plan for the audio is to tap the speaker wires in the B-Pillars and my amp turns off and on automatically when using line level inputs.
