[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 1395010, member: 540940"] A hole for the power wire "can" be tricky to find. Some cars will have an unused grommet or two that you can just poke a hole in to get the wire through. That's as easy as it gets. On others you have to find a bundle of wires or a cable going through the firewall and run your wire through its grommet. That can be a pain. Worst case scenario is when there is no possible hole already there that can be used and you have to drill your own. On 3 different cars I've never had to do this. For your speakers you can do one of two things. First of all - you don't have to use both speaker terminals on that amp - they're the same connection. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/Liquid_force/7ae8a586.jpg[/IMG] This begs the question - why are you running 1100w to your type R? They both should be connected to the battery -- you'd run a large wire from the battery to the distribution block - which would split it into two (usually) smaller wires for each amp. [/QUOTE]
