Pop the hood, and look over on the far sides of the firewall on the passenger or drivers side. There should be a fairly large hole where some cables are going for the power to the electric stuff. Thats where I put the power cable for my friends system, and it was a 0\1 awg. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Am i looking high or low??? cuz there isnt enough room to get a drill n the driver side i gotta move the ps pump.... lemme know top or bottom thx

It should be fairly low actually. You shouldnt have to drill it, the whole is already there. You CAN drill a hole, but if you do I'd suggest the passenger side because theres not as much electrical stuff and things that can get in your way. I dont remember exactly where it was, but I'll check his car out this week if I can.

On the left...near the top is a good place to drill...you can go lower if you want and there may be stock wire loom running through the firewall already.

If you drill, I would suggest using a "step bit" from the inside of the car , passenger side, low. make sure there is nothing in the way.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Ok, well this is what i ended up doing. I got help for another forum, and i ended up removing the computer from the pass. side of the engine bay, there was a grommet that was about 2 inch. across and i ran the power through there w/ no drilling. hope his helps someone else out.

I knew there was a whole for the factory wiring... I just didn't know it was hidden behind the computer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif On my truck, my moms Blazer, and my dads truck, they were all on the passenger side right above the fender well things. :-D Sorry I couldn't tell you that before.

I belive it is the same on an ss unless they have a totally different compurer system than the z28
