finding 1997 civic firewall???

Hello, i was wondering where the firewall in a 1997 civic 4 door sedan is located? I can not seem to find it, and I need to run my power wire from my amplifier through the firewall, and into the engine?

the wall that seperates the engine bay from the cabin IS the firewall... pop your hood and look at the far end of the engine bay... thats the firewal.

There are 2 main ways to get through the firewall... you can drill a hole, or you can look for a grommet that you can run the wire through. I'm a big fan of the latter... all you need is a coathanger, duct tape, and KY jelly lol

I need more of a specific location because there are a few firewall looking holes and im not sure which one to use. There is one right near the battery, is that it???

ok here's what you can do man look for a round rubber grommet in your fire wall see which one you could get a wire through once doing so take a coat hanger bend it so that it is straight as can be tape it to the end of the wire which you are feeding through the fire wall feed the coathangerthe wire taped on the coat hanger then feed it inside once you see the coat hanger inside the car slowly pull it through so that the wire is in side the car now take the wire off the coat hanger and your ready to run your wire through to the back //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

those links pretty much show what we're talking about...

find a rubber grommet, use a coathanger to run wire through it. OR, if none are availible, drill a hole, or run the wire underneath the vehicle... which sometimes requires drilling as well...

There should be a hole on the driver side wall right underneath your brake fluid holder. Its a rubber stop. Just poke a hole through it and your set.

It should be located somewhere under your trunk, pretty easy to find. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif
