Ok. Did a search and didn't find anything to promising. Anyone done an amp on an 04 malibu sedan. Has a dual firewall and was wondering where you ran the wire from(front fuse box or battery) and where the amp was mounted. Also, how to take out the stereo to wire in the lead. Thanx

try the steering wheel boot. Or in the case of a 96' 300zx ...floor pan with split-loom and cable ties

the floor pan is the floor of the car .You should be able to find a spot under the carpet on the driver or passenger side to drill, make sure that there is nothing that you could damage on the under side of the car. Run your hot wire along the underside of the car and up into the engine compartment, be sure your wire is away from extreme heat producing components ; ie. exhaust, and all moving parts. If you have ever used any standard amplifier kit the black tubing that they give you is split loom. use the split loom around your wire from your drilling point to your battery. use cable ties and metal self tappers to attach the wire to the underside of the car. I hope I'm not confusing you. If you need better explanation email me at Amerisport@msn.com.
