[QUOTE="fwb_1234, post: 2995428, member: 573700"] OK. So, I've got an '04 Mazda 6i Hatch. I already have a beginner bass system (which I plan on upgrading eventually), which consists of 2 Audiobahn 400W (AW125T's) subs and and Audiobahn 800W amp (A8002T). Please don't bash. I know you guys aren't fans of bahn, but I got an unbeatable deal on the stuff (~300 Installed). Here's a pic of the current bass system.

Here's what Sean and I managed to do to my car. Keep in mind that we had no idea what to do. Pic of engine bay. [URL="http://imageshack.us"][IMG]http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/5786/1006973qt0.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The negative to ground was the easiest and the first thing we did. Then we tackled the engine to ground connection. We had to take the battery out and the battery holder to get to the connection. Here are a couple of pics showing the hard-to-reachness of the engine connection. If you pay attention, you can see that we even left in the stock wire.
