firewall location
hey man, i made a larger hole where the majority of the wires go through to the engine compartment. Pull all the plastic from around the footwell and underneath the dash. way up in the upper right corner, the will be a ton of wires going through a black grommet. Get a hobby knife and make a small hole in it the tie your beefy 6-8awg wire to a metal coat hanger bent into a straight line. Feed the coat hanger through the hole you made in the grommet, the run around to the engine compart ment and finnesse the wire through. It was no fun bro, i spent 6 hours installing a stereo, tweeters, rear speakers, a custom sub, and amps and an eq. Whatever yore gonna do, thats the hardest part. I can gut my 300e in a few minutes, its an art. good luck man.

amp wires
hey man,
the bottom of the back seat has a clip on either side at the bottom. Stick a flat screwdriver on top of the clip and push down while pulling up on the seat. for the top half, there are three 10mm bolts on the sides and center. Then push up and it will slide off. There is a rear grommet on the right with wires and vacuum tubes you can feed your wires through. Its a pretty big job.
