bought a new toy a week ago and it's time to upgrade! the system will consist of a jvc kd-sh1000 head unit, alpine spx-177r comps run active in the doors, two sundown audio e8 subs, alpine pdx5 amp.
first on the list was to find a way to run a 4g wire from the battery to the cabin. i found a grommet to use (as you look at the car from the front) in the rear right corner of the trunk.
it enters the cabin on the upper left corner of the driver's footwell area.
i ran it under the edge of a few pieces of carpet and ended up under the drivers seat
finished product, no wire in sight
next on the list was attaching it to the battery. used a ring terminal on the end with some heat shrink.
connected it to the battery, covered in split loom, connected to the inline fuse. the loom was not really needed as there is no engine there to worry about but it cleans things up, and i would rather have a black cable than a blue.
i did not want to drill any holes so i used this stuff. it is sort of like plastic velcro only has a much stronger bond. the glue on the back is incredible as well. i have never seen it let go in the 5 years i have been using it.
here is the line attached to the wheel wheel and then running back to the grommet, all covered in the loom.
