Hey guys im going to be installing an amp kit and sub today..i.wanted to know where i can pass the battery cable through.and also where to connect my ground in the trunk..i also want a place to hide the cables so it wont look ugly..if you guys can give me a few pointers i would appreciate it.thanks

 

The battery is in the trunk, under the carpet so I'm not sure I understand where you're trying to go with the wires. Since it's right there you may as well just run both the positive and negative wires to the battery. Use a fuse on the positive wire, within say one foot of the battery terminal.

You can also use a seatbelt bolt as a grounding spot if you'd rather. Just scrape some paint off the surrounding area for a good connection.

 

Oh really? I had no idea the battery was in the trunk lol...i would just need to.pass the remote wire to the front

 

seat belt bolt is a **** ground btw

 

I bolted my ground to my ass since its pretty grounded imo. Emp!Wheres the best place for amp ground?

 

Let your multimeter do the talking for the best spot to ground...it depends on your amps location...

 

^^ this or just ground the amp to the battery

 

How is the seat belt bolt a **** grounding spot? In quite a few vehicles that's what I've used and had no problems. Not trying to pick a fight man, I was just curious about why you say that.

As stated though, the battery is right there so just use that.

 

bc in general the seat belt bolt goes thru a nut thats spot welded to the chassis and with a large bolt like that it makes it much more difficult to get a proper connection as well. i mean it works but not as well as a sanded piece of sheet metal that's not "attached"

 

Good point. I've just always hated drilling holes in my cars/trucks, and tried to use what was already there.

 

i totally agree and luckilly cobalts with the batt in the trunk make it easier... you dont have to drill just run to the battery and done. but remember a new batt terminal will be helpful
