Theres a rubber plug in your firewall almost right behind your battery, its really tight and hard to fit through but it will go through and it comes out right inside the cabin.

I have a 0 gauge and a 2 gauge wire coming from the engine bay and going to the trunk...so if you were in my situation you would want to drill you a hole through the firewall....make sure you dont hit anything and your fine....front seats dont need to come out...just the rear bottom part....take the trim off (should just snap on and off) and run wires under carpet....I ran all but my biggest two wires under the carpet because i didnt want to misshape the carpet and have a bump there bc my wires are huge...one 2 gauge or 4 gauge is fine..any bigger than that and it will be a pain...

sorry guys i took so long
but ok so right now i have the 4 gauge power coming in thru the fend and in thru the door jam (a big no no )
after i go to this interview today im going to do the fog light mod and then im going to do the wire thing the right way. god i love days off
i might even hand wax my whole car. lol i love my neon.
also how do i properly tune an amp cuz right now its just hitting all the bas notes i kinda want it to just hit some note and let my 6x9 and door speakers do the other notes ie highs and mids and i want my subs to do the lows
i have 2 cerwin vega vmax 10.4
and a pheonix digital amp i think its 1200 watts 2ohm stable
