hi there
wanted to install the subs and amp in my teg today
wondering if there are any DIY for the wiring
the only hard part is how to bring in the power cable from the battery to the inside of the car

any help would be appreciated

thanks

its pretty straight forward I always did it by taking my wire, going under the drivers side behind the gas pedal firewall. and pushing it through. then you go under the hood and see where it is to yank it through until you have enough slack to reach the battery. Just make sure you dont have it close to any moving parts.. It should be pretty easy, if your having trouble putting it through use a coat hanger, unbend it and attach the wire to it with a lot of tape and put the coat hanger through the fire wall, that way it will be easier to pull it through on the other side.

bvan thanks for the quick reply bro but i was thinking more like around the lines of passenger side since the batter is there and i know if i try to bring the power from gas pedal side i might screw it up
did it in my prelude but it was much easier...there was a plastic cover on the right corner underneath the dash compartment that came off and there was a hole there

thanks again....i'll def. try that as well....i am trying to find a spot right now with the laptop in the car lol

There's a small rubber plug on the passenger side as well; look in your engine bay on the firewall, and you'll see it... you can either poke a hole through it (recommended) or just pop it out. I've run my wires thru that hole on both my tegs.

do i need to take out the dash board part? or is it underneath that by the passenger foot room area?

thanks again...

BestodaBest

Exactly; remove the plug from the engine bay, and it'll be more obvious from the inside.

blak_lude

okay i think i found it....
is it on the right side of the battery a little under behind two metal cables?
if your looking at the car from the front with the battery being on the left side....
a small rubber plug thingy what is i think glued on....

BestodaBest

Shouldn't be glued on; it's normally only a little press-in. Just tug on her, or poke a hole thru it.

It's black, and about the size of a toonie; sounds like you've got it

blak_lude

yaa the size of a toonie lol....ya i think i got it
im gonna poke a hold n fish it through there
will post the results

thanks and probably a DIY if i get around my camera

BestodaBest

Anytime

bro i found that n took the plug out but there was like something in front blocking it some foam material and plastic behind it
i could push it a little but not enough for the power wire to go through

damn really wanted to pound these today

BestodaBest

Hmm... might be a model difference; i didn't have anything behind mine on either my 94 ls, or 95 gsr. Just a clean hole.

blak_lude

damn...mine is a 98' RS
would be able to meet up and help a brother out ? loll

BestodaBest

Shitt, if it was earlier i'd reach no prob; gotta head back up to base tonight tho. I'll be down next weekend if u still need a hand tho?

blak_lude

its cool...next weekends fine too....pm'd

blak_lude

by them selves?

i just drilled a hole in the fire wall and put silicone around to seal it.

blak_lude

thanks guys.....i found the hole in the file wall your talking about D C 2
but thing is i found it right side of the battery right behind it....
but on the inside there's foam and plastic of some sort...should i just try to fish the wire through there?

blak_lude

thank you so much D C 2
will try it when the weather is a little warmer and let you know
really appreciate it

If your not confident or what ever

Step One : PM Fieldzy for quality installations

Fieldzy doesnt do that kind of garbage ^^

I so seriously cringed when I read that. I bet you didn't even use a grommet in the hole when you were done either.

Treat drilling as an absolute last resort, but if you have to, make sure you do it right.

Fieldzy09

qft!

VTEC_Inside

Fail for quoting yourself... :P

blak_lude

no def. not going to drill a hole in the firewall just to put subs in....will find a way didnt look into it yet but will do when it gets a little warmer outside

Theres a soft rubber seal on the passenger side usually near the battery depending on your teg. Use an old car antenna or coat hanger to poke a hole, if need be depending on what guage size wire you have may have to take an exacto knife and cut a larger incision into the rubber gaucet. Poke the power wire through, then ground the negative wire to the challis. of the car in the trunk or on a seat belt bolt in the back. Run the remote wire from the aftermarket deck and also the RCA's. If you have a stock deck you need a high-low converter and to attach the remote wire to accessory.

im going to be installing a new system soon. I can't stand that future shop/best buy junk anymore lol

blak_lude

okay so initial plan was to just keep the shi**y sony deck and throw in the subs
but mind changed and grabbed a pioneer avic d3 with navi
had it done two days ago...
i did locate the hole and ran the wire through there
and the rca and power were brought to the trunk through the passenger black plastic cover that holds the carpet and through the right side of the back seat...
loving the setup its amazing and finally everything's pioneer now
