turboviper has some great pics of his install, he ran it through a hole that has a plastic air tube running through it on the passenger side.

I rummaged some of his images and found a few pics.

hopefully that'll help a bit if u do some searching now that u know the location. turbo could better explain but i believe he's been busy lately

aznman007 · 05-10-04, 10:57 AM

ok what plastic air thingy? lol

aznman007 · 05-11-04, 11:34 AM

oh and how long does the power cable have to be? i have 9 feet. and my car is a sedan.

z00m · 05-11-04, 12:07 PM

i think i got about 22 feet of power cable, and i had about 4-5 feet left over.

also, the air tube can be found if u unscrew the black cover that is down in the passenger footwell. it has like 4 or 5 screws, its the black cover beneath the glove box.

you'll see the tube that is pictured above when u remove that cover and it should be pretty easy to go from there once u have the location down

aznman007 · 05-11-04, 05:22 PM

so a 17 foot cable should be good eh?

Just so you're on the safe side, get 4 gauge wire. On the installation i had a custom shop do my subs and amp because i didn't want to go through that whole firewall issue. Good luck on your installation!
