Should be installing my system in the next few weeks and am wondering how the hell I'm gonna get the power wire throught the firewall on my 00 L any detailed info on intalling this would be appreciated...And I was also curious if the loaded L5 from crutchfield in the truck box is gonna fit behind the seat with it scooted all the way back. It looks like it will but i wanna hear from other who have it

 

 

I can't help you with the fitted enclosure...but the power wire can be brought into the truck through the rubber grommet on the firewall, located behind the gas pedal.

 

Here's what I did. Look behind the battery, you will see a place where you can run the wire down the inside of the wheel well. You can run the wire down there and it will come out below the truck. Now on the inside of the truck on the passenger side. Take off the plastic panel...... I'm not sure what its called, the door sill maybe. Under this there is a rubber grommet in the front of it that you can run the wire up into the truck through. Just poke a small hole through there and run the wire inside and then stick it back in the hole. Use some wire ties and make sure the wire isn't rubbing against any sharp edges and you will be set. Hope this helps. If you cant get it I'll take some pictures for you.

 

Appreciate the replies....iwasouttherelooking but i'd really love to see pics if it isn't too much trouble. Thanx Spank

By the way White is the Fastest color

 

I ran my power wires (2 - # 8's) through the upper fender well, into the door hinge area of the passenger side, and into the grommet that is next to the power window / door locks/ mirror grommet raceway.

However you do it, be sure to:

1. Put a fuse inline, as close to the battery as possible.

2. Protect the wire with loom, grommets, wire ties, etc. Vibration, large guage cable and high current batteries can create one big fire hazard...

 

This is what I did.

 

Ok, this is where the power wire goes down the fenderwell.
(the wire is largest one in the pic, in the middle)

This is the fenderwell where the wire goes above. I put the split loom stuff on the whole wire here all the way to below the truck.

Here you can see the wire coming out from above the fendwell. Use some zip ties to secure it.

 

This is a pic of the grommet where the wire goes up into the truck.

The wire comes into the truck right in the front of the door sill. I didn't remove it to show you but its right near the front of this panel. There is a ton of room under it for wires.



And note that in my pics i haven't secured the wire yet, but it was very easy to run it this way.

 

thanx for the I feel alot more confident now just waiting for the subs to arive

 

It took some wiggling to get it to fall down from the top to the bottom of the fender thingee, but it was about the easiest install i've ever done before.

 

spankdog, i cant get your pictures to work.

 

ah ok excellent, they work now. the site they are on must have been down. because I couldnt get them to work there either.

 

sorry about that my server was down and i was not aware.

 

In my current install I plan on just drilling through the fire wall as soon as I order the grommets.
