Hole In Firewall??

There are a couple holes in the firewall already. One i know of is right behind the wheel well on the drivers side.

Look for black rubber grommets. Pop them out or push them through and voila! you have a hole.

i couldn't find a single one that wouldn't require my hand being 1/4 its normal size to reach, so i had to fight through sound deadener to drill a new hole, however, i'm assuming the sound deadener was done from factory, why the hel! didn't nissan do the rear deck?? it sounds like @$$ when bass hits lol

i dont think they installed sound deadener in our cars from the manufacturer. Who ever had the car before you must have had it installed before he or she sold the vehicle
