need help on drilling firewall

[bobo_80]

i was wondering where in the firewall should i feed the wires for an amp...?......aannnd....most improtantly, would i ruin my bose system doing so?.....cuz i heard amp takes a little portion or the power supply from the stock speaker, and the bose system adjusts the speakers every milli second or so and if the electronic senses there a "missing" part of power through the stock speaker, will it screw it up then?....thanks for anyone who answers my Q..!!

What are you trying to do ?

If you are on the drivers side of the car, in the top middle of the firewall you'll find a rubber plug, just pop it out and voila, in goes the cable.

If you want to run the cables to the trunk than you will need to sneak it by the door.

thanks a lot man...!!...i found the hole...and i`m gonna start drilling through the metal behind it as soon as i get my amp...!!^^.....well that`ll be in????...3 weeks?....hehe....by the way....u think X-plod amp is good?...i think it`s got alsome bass...!

[MaxRX7]

sure thing

Sony is nice and all, but to put it nicely the "X-plod" series sucks ass. You will be better going with like RF, you will not be disappointed.

Will you be running some subbies ? Cerwin Vegas are badass

humm.....well i`ll be checking out MTX, and JBL the next few days...i think the MTX is the nicest though....^!....well, what`s RF?...havn`t heard of it.....and is it a good idea to put in one of those round capaciters?....i heard they help the amp and conserve more power for ur car, is that ture?....yep.....i`ll have some subbies...i`ll have to ask my friend to lend me his MTX`s cuz no money to buy my own yet...hehe....! ....by the way, i could put in an amp on my bose system rite?....i dun wanna buy one that it won`t work with bose..!

ha.....!,man so i decided to drill a hole in my firewall........not to say, pain in the a$$.... not to mention that i have to keep on changing bigger drill bits as i drill.....ok now everything is done....got the Kenwood amp from my friend.....well..niiiiiice, finally after going back and forth to home hardware 4 times, and to Nissan in 1 hour,(the 1 hour is just shopping for the stuff, it took me like 4~5 hours to get it 95% done), i managed to get the job 95% done.....i was just testing it and listening to the cool bass on (my cousin`s) sub for 30 secs, everything shut off....i was like what? what happened?......then nightmare.......i called my friend who works at a car audio shop, he told me i probably hooked up the wrong wire on the head unit and burned out my bose.....i checked all the fuses in the engine bay, man i was sad no broken fuse....so my cousin suggested we go for a smoke, he drove and we smoked in front of 'save on foods'....
....while smoking i suddently remembered that there`s still a fuse box under the sterring columb, i told him and we rushed back.....after looking a 4 fuses already in audio and electrical, nothing.....then last one......d@mn i found it....there it was in my hands a broken fuse....!!haha....u don`t know how happy i was.......i put the new fuse back and is ok.....hehe....then i un hooked my wire for the amp.....i`ll ask someone at a audio store to hook it up for me....^^.....bose system is really weird by the way.....no input, and no output....just two squared plugs...so who knows how to put it the right way.....at least i`m the one who don`t......!

RF = rockfard fosgate

what is the latest news apart from the lights not working ? Did you get the rest to work = speakers/amps/subs = loud and clear ??

[armin4]

yea look into RF for amps and JL w6 12''s are nice

[funnylittlman]

FR is nice, but I really like the MTX amps. They really shell out the watts ( if you want to pay a pretty penny). What do you all think about Phenix Gold Amps? I know they run hot, but whoa they are nice!

[bobo_80]

hah, damit, it`s a loos light plug after all, and the guy plugged it back for $47 bucks........mann.......should of took it apart and find out myself.......i was too lazy i guess........

[MaxRX7]

Phoenix(sp?) Gold Amps are also good.

haha bobo, I thought that is what it was. So how are the tunes

[bobo_80]

hah.......needless to say........alsome, but i shorted my amp the othrday rehooking the wires.....took it to fix, it`ll b ready tomorrow.....
