Yeah, I'll post pics tomorrow I should be getting more of it situated. Only waiting on the sub to arrive now. The main power cable I ran through a grommet right behind the car battery. It has a pretty mean sized grommet and isnt flexible enough for a 0 gauge wire to fit. So i just scrunched it down a little and ran it in between the firewall and the grommet, to make the seal I used some silicon RTV. It is an extremely tight fit. I recommend pushing as much of the cable through the hole until you can see/ feel it on the other side. Hopefully you have small hands or know someone that does, it would help. I still got it done with these ape fingers though lol. There is plenty room to run it along the passenger side all the way to the back. The panels can be pryed off with your hands, i recommend prying the panels from the side closer to the inside of the car. just feed it back next to the stock wiring and it falls into the trunk! I'll have pictures up tomorrow. Sorry about the late reply!

This is a pic of where I stuck it in the firewall. I will post pics of everything when I get it done. My sub should be in this week/ weekend. Thanks for being patient guys. (I can peel the RTV off if I remove the system and put the grommet back into place if I want to return it to stock)

Yeah 4 gauge I don't see being too terrible. But yeah that 1/0 gauge flex cable still isnt very flexible. Oh well, I wanted to have the maximum current flow possible and It definitely is going to work out for me. I am very excited to get this taken care of.

Yeah, the days of me doing 1500 watts of old A/B power just to the sub......Hopefully are over. I did just order an ARC Audio power amp for my sub. I just needed something a little more powerful than my JL 500/1, and hopefully a little more efficient, also an amp with a remote gain so I can turn it up or down according to the type of music I am listening to. The 4 gauge thing is more me limiting the power I can put on my sub. That's my line in the sand I am trying not to cross.

PM sent. The size of the front door speakers is 7 inches. Maybe 6 3/4 inch speakers will fit, or you might need an adapter to get them to fit? I have not opened the doors yet to see. I don't really feel like adding a component set to this car. The high end and the deep lows are really all I wanted to correct. I added the 4" Focals for the high end and a 12 inch JBL GTI sub for the low end.
