Help...firewall

Well... I'm starting with my system and I wanted to know where and how it will be easier to run the power wire from the trunk to the battery through the firewall???

Any Ideas on how it will be easier and less troublesome?

Also, I can't get the power antenna to work, I already have the diversity adapter but I can't get the (blue cable) antenna out of my aftermarket radio to the right cable? Anyone knows or remenbers wich cable is it? (The antenna going up by it self looks good)...

If any one could help me, it will be greatly appreciated. thanks

Nice attitude kid. You often have to wait alot more than 10 views to get a response.

Run it through the driver's side fender with the stock harness. You have to partially remove the fender liner, but as long as you're still at stock height you should be able to do it without jacking the car up. Find where the huge mass of wiring goes into the car and use a razor to cut a little hole in the grommet it uses and then feed you're power wire through.

Did you ever consider that the 10 other views might be wondering the same thing? They as well are awaiting a reply? Some people just looked in to see? As the statement "Help firewall" doesnt really tell much. Just have some patience, rather than being sarcastic with "Thanks for the help 10 views..."

As for the firewall issue its very simple to just drill a hole. Or the other option as posted above.

On the power antenna what radio do you have? Do you have an aftermarket harness to connect it?
