Hi,
I decided to put an Alpine M450 Amp http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...0&i=500MRPM450 and an Infinity Reference http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...nce&i=1081050W Sub in my car.

I was thinking about where exactly to put the Amp / Sub. Has anyone successfully ran the wires to the trunk hiding them decently? I was looking and I don't know how I would get the wires from the front over the wall in the middle to the trunk without exposing them. Is there something I can remove that will let me pass through.. ??

Also, would it be a bad idea / impossible to tap into the line powering the stock amp and running a cable powering another amp from that one?

Thanks in advance!

 

Not with a "2X20 amp" fuse ratiing! I think it best to run a dedicated line for a large-draw add on like this amp.

 

Figured i'd at least ask and try to see anyways


Any idea about running the wires to the trunk though? I guess I could just make them as stealthy as possible and just have them peaking out to go over the big wall..

 

Nox,

Did you ever go through with this setup? If so, do you have any photos of it you can share?

 

Yeah, I did. I don't have any pictures right now.. and unfortunately I am going up north a one and a half weeks.. I can get you some after then...

basically, search for the grommet under the battery tray.. another thread someone posted on how to access that.. that's to run the wire -> inside of the cabin..

after that, it isn't that bad. just lift up the carpet on the side (this is where I ran my RCA / power cables.. i had to remove the door sill and one of the side panels)

there's a spot to go to the trunk.. you need to take off those black clips.. they look like they are permanent but take a pair of pliers and get them out.. i mangled a few that I need to replace..

with pictures it'll be easier, but yeah. that's the general idea

 

SOunds good, but I have been searching for weeks and found no pics on exactly how anyone ran their power, RCAs, etc. So if you would be kind enough, it would really help me out as I will be installing this weekend. THANKS.

 

Take out the battery and remove the battery tray. The grommet has several "nipples" molded in so that you can just clip one off and push the cable through, See some photos to this gallery. It is actually pretty easy and no need for the DRILL!!!
