wiring what? amp? alarm? speakers? you have to specify. You need a hole through the firewall either way, might as well make your own

you can actually go to lowe's or home depot and the size wire your using . you can get a grommet the will fill fit the hole u cut in the firewall. can also get them off http://www.partsexpress.com search "firewall grommet's" . either works

sweet thank you. Hey i got another question. I'm looking at a eclipse cd3100. Are they any good. I have heard eclipse but the deck was 10 years old

i'd look into 5100 and above. Nothing against the lower line, i just prefer the higher up ones. But it depends on your budget
