2002 Honda Civic EX

[panixoh]

Okay, I just got this car yesterday for my birthday. So now I need to transfer my audio system. Does anyone know if this car has a port in the firewall or underneath so I can have easy access to running my power cable from my battery to the trunk to power my amp. If all else fails I will just drill but would like to avoid that.

i would say go ahead and drill...i have a 99 grand am gt and had to drill

Well, this is for any out there who might have similar questions. This goes for almost ANY car without drilling. What I did was this; Opened my car door, run the wire through the frame where the door connects(Mine had a hole, and i was told almost all cars do) just had to lift a little plastic. Then stuck wire through and ran wire along where the wire for the power windows goesand into the car, then just ran the wire underneath the molding.. The whole process took about 5 minutes to get it fastened and even out of sight. The only wire you can see now is when you open the door and you can see it in the crack

The point is you shouldn't be able to see any wire, ever. Dude, do it right. Run it through the firewall if you have to, drill a hole. It's not that big of a deal. Running it through the door jam is gay.

Well "dude" running it through the firewall is dumb.. I love my car to much to put a whole in it.. just change the body a little maybe but putting holes in it is not my thing. Well anyways I was saying you "CAN" see it.. you have to try to see it. And its not something you notice at all. You have to bend your *** down and poke your eyes into the crack of the door to see maybe 1 and a half inches of red power wire. It is not visable
