Look deep under the dash were other wires run through the fire wall or even AC lines run through. There also have rubber gromests around them use a wire fish or a coat hanger to help u put the wire through be very carefull not to mess up the wires or AC lines just take your time.Mine ran through with a wire harness under the dash and under the carpet close to the door seal to under the pasanger seat had to take the seat out though ,not hard.. but the amp was a very tight fit.

what i did with mine, us like right under the front passenger seat, theres a hole under the carpet. so i ran it under the truck and used zip ties to keep it way up against the cab as close as possible, and then covered the wire with a weather/water proofing plastic. and then ran the wire to my back seats where my amp is....it was really easy. i had ur prob it took me hours and hours to find a whole to run my wire. god it was a bitch!

Oh forgot to say start from under the hood at the firewall you will see the wire harness or ac lines what ever you prefer fish them in from the out side to the inside.

how did u fine the other side? lol i could find the holes on the engine side, but when i went under my dash i couldnt see them or get to them. its to late now my way works fine, but it would still be nice to know...did u have to take a shit load of stuff under the dash off or the dash apart?

theres a rubber grommet on the passenger side firewall, just cut a small hole in it and run the wire in the cab, its very easy to find, run it under the carpet to the kick panel. get a phillips screwdriver and take the kick panel off, and you will have easy access to the rear of the truck under the carpet. do it like that and youll never see the wire inside the truck.

On our 2002 frontier, my hubby (an electrician) tried to put a sub in it, and in the process, blew SOMETHING. (It wasnt the fuse! Might have just been the radio itself...) He couldnt figure it out, so for months we rode around without a radio......

Make sure you run your Power line and your RCA cables on different side! Or else you'll hear static instead of music!!!!
I ran the power on the right hand side... because my battery is on the right hand side...
Yeah... I had a couple problems running mine too... Some reason, after I ran my system, the Airbag light keep on blinking... the driver side one... I have no clue if I blew a fuse or something... I checked all the fuse and they're all good... No clue what's wrong!
