I'm looking to install a sub and amp with my bose. I just bought the power cable set ie. power, ground, inline fuse and remote turn on plus bunch of connectors. I was just wondering how and where all you guys ran the power cable through the car and where to hook the remote turn on lead. Thanks in advance. Again I DO HAVE BOSE.

there is a hole in he engine bay around where the steering wheel is. I was able to fit a 4 guage wire through there. The wire should show up below the steering wheel. I ran the wire down underneath the carpet and into the trunk. I could take a picture if it helps you.

Under the steering wheel on the upper left hand corner towards the driver's side door there is a piece of foam that you can peel off which reveals a metal piece which leads into the engine.
The metal piece is about 1/8 thick. Make sure you take off that foam piece or else it will get messy. I drilled about a half inch diameter hole through that and i have 2 guage wiring running from battery to distribution block. From distribution block i have 2 8 guage outs (Amp for front components and Amp for rear speakers) and a 4 guage out for the sub amp.

there is a rubber or foam plug on the firewall
run it through...then run under the door sills....remember to keep the power through one side of the car and signal on the other to reduce the risk of interference. IF you have bose you will need to get a hi/low converter since you dont have rca outs. You can get this at circuit city (or equivlant). Run the remote to the power? (to be honest i cant remember)
