yesterday i ran 4 runs of 0/1 gauge, my remote wire, and all my bass knobs wires. now on to the pics

heres where i decided to drill through the firewall



my best friend while working. the windchill is in the negatives where im at, and this propane heater keeps me sweating in my garage. i also get almost 10 hours of heat for 17$ in propane. so worth it

i am so lucky my car has holes behind the rear seatbelt cushions. i was able to fit all the runs of 1/0 gauge somehow, and they done get pinched.



cleaned up a little



how it looks in the front for now. everything is zip tied and not connected; waiting for my alt which should be shipped out today, terminals which should have been here last wednesday, and my voltmeters cause amazon on that BS.

]a mess of wires in my trunk. i made my 1/0 runs really long so theres a lot in my trunk. its easier to cut wire than to extend it, so i wanted to make sure my wires didnt run short.



heres one thing i wasnt happy about. it was impossible to be able to get my kick panels back on with no gaps. i tried for 45 min, but what can you expect with huge bulges from 4 runs of 1/0 gauge lol

i know i should have, no excuse other than i wasnt in the mood to take my seats out. its already annoying me. some of my friends dont even tuck their power wire. its just run across the carpet in everyones view, its nasty.

did some work, did some deadening on the front doors. did almost all of the inside of the door panels, did probely 25% of the inside of the outside panel. also a very tiny part of the outside panel. will do more when i get more deadner, wanted to make sure i have enough for the whole roof.

I would pull it back and redo it the right way .. We even went as far as drilling holes to run it flush under my carpet like this ..

Eventually you will really regret not doing it right .. So while it's still being installed you should just get it done
