Mr. Douggie,
This is my first post on the board, so i hope it helps:
Here is a breakdown of my system:
Alpine CDA7949 Headunit
JBL Power 80.4 Analog under passenger seat pushing
6.5 Infinity Kappas front, 6.5 Infinity Kappa Perfects rear,
The massive crossovers for these fit fine under same seat.
JBL Power 1200.1 Digital Amp in trunk on custom box pushing
3 10" JL 10W3-D6s.
I have 2Ga. Power and ground run from the battery through a 140A breaker.
I love this car, there is a large oval grommet under the steering column. It already has one large bundle of cables running through one half of it, however, there is plenty of room to cut a
hole for power beside it. I had to pull the grommet through the firewall into the car, then used and exacto knife to cut the add'tl hole.Granted it was a little difficult due to the location and depends on your flexibility
But of all the cars i have worked on or owned, was by far the one i felt most comfortable with when i finished.
If you cant find it, i will try to grab some digital pics of it, I just got through taking pics of the system but forgot those details.
I ran power through the grommet, then to the left of the car,
behind the fuse panel. You can gracefully (and calmly) pull the plastic runners off the car in both front and back, then slide the plastic column with the seatbelt running through it up. There is room for at least 2Ga to run here, simply replace the plastic panels over top of them. (I pulled up the existing cable bundles, ran the power, and snapped em back down so nothing would move.)
Through back seat is a little tough, hope you have skinny fingers.
it is easy enough, unless you run multiple cables, and may have to remove the large plastic piece to the left rear seat, clips are hidden and hard to reach. But do-able.
I chose my headunit because it only has RCA and optical out, so i went to length to separate the RCAs. For this Follow same procedure on right half of car, Trust me, there is room for a lot under those panels and carpet. I think i have 3 RCAs, and two sets of 12Ga wire running under the right.
Trust me, it is worth it to separate, engine noise is quite disgusting in comparison to some light jazz
For the ground, there is an abundance in the trunk,
Remove the floorboard in the trunk, and lift the velcro felt part from the back of the seat. Use the bolts holding your rear seat
down and some ring clamps. I have my Cap grounded to one, and my amp gronded to another, and there are a couple to spare. these are nice because there is no paint on these bolts or brackets. Under the seat was a little trickier.
Ended up using the left rear bolt that holds the passenger to the car. Need to sand the paint off first, and cut some plastic off the bracket cover if you want to put it back on . (ok, or you can have it bulging out inconspicuously like mine does
)
good luck, I'd like to see some pics of your prgress if you get a chance.
