Yeah, I was playing with the power wire today(oh, it's the smallest gage 8 or w/e) but yeah I ran the power wire from the battery up the side of my hood, through the corner of the hood into my door jam, but I can't figure out how to hide it, mainly the power wire is my problem, the Remote/RCA seems easy once I get the power ran. but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the power out of the door jam into the hatch clean. Sorry for the novel lol. Just frustrated with it. but it's a 1000 watt amp to too 500 or 750 RMS 12's so no HUGE gage

Through the door jamb isn't a good choice of path. Make a hole in the firewall or find an existing grommet to pass though.

Lol GradeA. And unfortunately no, my camera is MIA. I'm going to go look for a hole in the fire wall now. I'll probably be back with more question/problems lol.

dont take this the worng way but its not that hard. It seems your overthinking it.

- find a grommet that goes throught the firewall. Its usually on the passenger side for the ecu wires. Either yank it out from the engine side OR get a long screw driver and peirce it with the power wire attached.

- Rca's and power wires (remote wire included) should be on opposite sides of each other in the vehicle.

- remove kick panel, door sweep looking thing and run your wires in through there.

- Tuck your wires in really tight behind the rear panels and make sure to feed the wires behind any seatbelts,panels and other items that make move or stand out.

there you go!

ohh and either electrical tape or zip ties are your friends for making sure your wires are secure under the dash.

No offense taken Taco, and thanks, I figured it out and have the power wire ran. But now I have 2 more questions,
1.) Do I have to run the RCA/Remote on the opposite side?
2.) What wire do I splice the Remote(Turn On) into on the wire cluster behind the head unit?
