If you have room through one of the existing firewall grommets, put it through there. Run the wires to whichever side you want. Behind the kick panel and under the seal panel and come out up through the opening under the seat. If there is no opening under the seat, you can just cut a small slit for the wires to come through.DONE

On mine, I would come through the one behind the ECM. That is the one closest to the battery. When it comes to electrical wiring, shorter wires give better quality performance.

Thats the positive buss, that is a good place to hook up, you need a 3/8
ring terminal. and dont forget to use a fuse. behind the pcm there is a spot to go thru the firewall.

How many and big amps are you planning to install? I have ran 800 watt amps and never needed a fuse larger than 30 amps. Just add up the total amps that your equipment is going to draw from the battery and install a fuse that is a little larger. (EXAMPLE: An amp that will draw 10 amps to run, will need a 12 or 15 amp fuse) If you go with a fuse that is too big, the fuse will not blowout if it is overloaded. The wire will start to heat up and possibly burn. Thats on the extreme side, but possible. Simpleman'Z 28
