Where did you run the ground wire through from the battery to the amp?

In my sentra i had a switch by the trunk release button that would allow me to kill the subs power anytime i want. The switch was connected to a yellow wire in the fuse box. I look at my 2011 maxima and i dnt see a yellow wire in the fuse box. Any idea?

take a flathead screwdriver and pinch the connectors closer together to try and make a tighter grip around the bulb. or make a small template with abs plastic to hold the bulb in place and drill a hole for the light to shine thru. <-- thats a more creative and time consuming fix

If u look under the back seat there is a little pull ring. U can remove the bench and place the ground wore roght under the seat. The small prob i see is the firewall whole, its a tight squeeze. And also snaking the wire through the trunk frm the back seat. Ur guy prob got lazy

stay away from this guy, anyone who knows what they're doing can run a power run through the firewall to the engine bay. its difficult yes, but obviously possible. an alternative is mounting a second battery in your trunk, which has it's own complications admittedly.

im grounded to the bolt under the back seat, took the bench out to do it- was really easy. just use a wire brush to scrape up the area the bolt is touching so its up against bare metal instead of painted metal

if your LEDs are coming out, try wrapping the housing in some electric tape until its thick enough to fit well in there - worked for me on some others I had that were a little loose.

Dude I took off the front left tire unclipped the wheel well and u will see a bunch of wires going from under the dash into the hood I just took a screw driver poked a whole and ran the power wire and the ground in bolted under the seat to a piece of metal honestly one of the easiest installs iv ever done..I used 4 gauge wire ****s thick and all u gotta do is pop off the black plasti pieces that r in the door frame and put the wire all the way to the back

someone probably ran a toggle switch to the amp turn on wire
