hey i got a question for you dudes. I got my amp and subs put in but the power line from the battery is run along the door jam. I was wondering if their was a way to thread it through the fire wall so it would look prettier. Also i just got pioneer speakers and they came with wires to hook up to factory set. There are two wires one is grey the other grey with a black stripe. Is the grey with black stripe the ground, i would assume so. By the by i drive a 2k2 zx3

Yes the one with the black stripe is the negative wire. Go here for the speaker wiring code http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2140

I drilled my own hole through the firewall and sealed it up with a little silicon. So far no leaks.

where exactly did you drill in the fire wall and the factory speaker is plugged in right?

The area behind the brake pedal. My speakers didn't plug into the stock wires, I had to cut the ends and connect them to the passive crossovers.

yea that looks that way also, i was just wonjdering if you could hook up the positive and negative ends from the new speakers to the stock wires and was wondering which one to connect to

i drilled through the firewall where the steering columb goes throguh the firewall, where the plastic surround is at, i have 3 holes for 3 8 gauge wires. if you interested still in where to drill do a search, there was a post about it not too long ago.

COOL beans man cuz i need someplace to get the power cable near the steerin column and run the cable from column underneath the driver's side trim and underneath the seat.

that should work fine, you can also run it down the side of the car if you want, just pull up the door trims, they are held in by clips, just pull straight up so you don't break any. and use a grommet on the drill hole for the pwower wire to be safe, so the metal from the firewall doens't cut the wire up and short it out.

oh yeah it may sound redundant but on the stock wire setup fom the kicker panels i assume that white is positive and grey is negative

the subs i have so far are hardcore assume two 12' rockford fosgate with a 1200 watt sony amp
and a kenwood hu
