[ace42004]

i went to go install my power wire from the engine bay and ran it through the rubber thing that the engine harness goes through to the ecu..problem is i took out the whole rubber garment but i still cant get it to go through to under the dash...i have done this on civics and crx with no problem...how did u guys run ur wiring..

i did it the exact same way, except under the plasic pieces on the bottom of the door frames. i ran the rca, and remote under the same plastic pieces on the driver's side.

depends on the size..if its small..through near the door, but if its 4 ga, or larger, then i suggest putting it under the seats..
like remove the seat, and run it between the seat brackets..

Make it nice. Just use a zip-tie every about 3-4 inches. and anchor it to something ont he car. That way it is clean looking and nice.
Run it along the console, under the carpet to the back seat, under the seat, along the bottom of the trunk, and then up through the trunk board to your system. Very sleek.

91 ex sedan manual...im trying to fit it through the rubber groment where the engine harness runs into the firewall to the ecu..but it doesnt want to go through...

I didn't have a jack when I did my install so I couldn't find the grommet. I ran my power line through the fender and alongside the side of the car. No problems yet, and I know from experience that my fuses would stop any short circuit malarchy.

For the ground I used the bolt that holds the back seat down. The first time I started my system up I jumped for joy...

I ran my power wire on the drivers side. Pop the hood and look down kinda by the steering linkage I think it was. Theres a metal plate there with 2 bolts. Take them off from the inside, up under the steering wheel, drill a hole in it and you are good to go. It was REALLY easy.

looks nice...but i wouldnt run the power and signal wires that close to one another...run power on one side, and signal on the complete opposite side..
