Default hot wire

ok i have my subs installed and they are working great, the only problem is im not sure what the best place is to run the hot wire. right now i have it going through my doorjam on the passenger side, although i was told that isnt a good place for it because it can ground out. i looked in the passenger side footwells, but i cant see a place where it can be fed through. if anybody can help me out it would be greatly apprciated. thanks alot!

There should be a grommet on the passenger floorboard under the carpet toward the firewall...If you cant find a spot you can always just drill a hole int he firewall or floorboard and bring your wire through. Just remember that if you drill a hole you will need to use a rubber plastic grommet to prevent the wire from stripping and grounding on the metal walls....

the grommet that cloak is referring to is right above the top edge of the carpet on the passenger side. the antenna wire runs through the same hole.

thats where mine is at, it was pretty easy to find. the doorjam is definately not a good place for it, my buddy did that and his asctually started a small fire, nothing major, but you should run it through the firewall asap
