Hey there. Basically trying to install my JL subs n amp. I'm running the wire from the amp to the battery and basically i don't know where the hole is for it to go from the front into the engine, any1 know? And how did u lot wire yr sound? I'm running my headunit cable from the right hand side to the back n the battery cable along the left, and my ZX is a jap 2+2.

if you remove the arch liner on the front passenger side, you will see a grommet that goes through to just above the ECU (passanger footwell), yuo can easily get it from the battery to inside the car from there and then just run it down the sill :)

agree with vijay,you could also run it through where the bonnet release cable goes using a metal coat hanger then run it through the centre console or drivers sill :)

wanna know how to make your life a lot more simple mate :D

get your self a wireing kit for this purpose includes all you need,including gold plate terminals,a great bit of kit got mine from chrisgreddy and a good deal to boot

and don't forget the fuse as near to the battery as possible :)

K basically i tried doing it and this is wot happened. I got to the ECU area and all the way to the left of the footwell i saw a circular rubber cover. It had a flathead type of indent suggesting that it can be unscrewed but it cudnt. N we tried pulling it but it jus wudnt move! N wot is a grommit, is it wot im describing? N where does it cum out from in the engine? Coz we took away the battery n everything n cudnt find anything? Near the ECU my m8 found a plastic tube which obviously has several wires in, do we cut into this n follow it? Argh wot a nightmare, help plz :(

this is a grommet m8;)

a few different kinds

Did you remove the arch liner? if you do, you'll see the place where the wires go through, don't try and do it from inside the car.

 

Vijay

Hmm nah i didnt remove the arch liner, will do tommomrow when theres daylight, i did find wires cuming out through the engineside from the wing. Seems easier that way if i find it.

Thank Billy, grommits hmm....

trust me, remove the liner and all will be revealed :)
