Installing Amp

Has anyone installed and amp in their outtie? Im trying to install my amp, but for the life of me I cant figure out where to drill to feed my power cable to the battery. I got my head unit installed for now. pulled the factory amp and wired around it, system sounds 100 percent better already, cant wait to get my amp installed.

Which Outlander do you have? The best spot is under the driver's seat. Let me know...

2004 xls with the infinity system, im moungting the new amp in the same place as the other. just needed to know where to drill for the power cable, but had some help from mld211

total audio upgrade or just an amp/sub

I intsalled 4 new sony xplodes. cheap but were given to me. all brand new. apline 4 channel amp, new jvc HU. mainly this one because it has the USB interface. ill get some pics up later. sounds a hell of a lot better. I still have to install my subs and amp. but thats another day. and more money. gotta do a little at a time so that the wife doesnt get too upset

I guess you got that spot on the driver's side floor already huh?

Yep the small one. got it ran, got the speakers going. just gotta get my sub installed

Time to run my fog light wires through that there little hole and get ride of the half assed wires as soon as I have a chance.

Gotta love that hole!!!

do you have any pictures of the install? I'm still stumped on where to pass the power cable through the firewall. Also I need to install a line-level converter, how does one remove the factory deck so that I can tap into the wiring?
Thanks

take the dash apart and there should b screws holding the dash kit for the factory deck and there u go but when puting in a new deck ull have to buy a WIREING HARNESS and DASH KIT for that car.
"
UNLESS IT HAS TWO HOLES LIKE :[___]: LIKE THAT AROUND THE FACTORY DECK THEN ULL NEED TO GET THE SPICIAL KEYS THAT FIT IN THERE TO GET IT OUT"

i figured the dash has to come apart, I was looking for something a little more descriptive.

where is this hole underneath the drivers seat? Does the seat have to come out? I've been trying to find this hole.....

The hole is not under the seat, it is at the base of the firewall on the driver's side.

"hope this helps, if you are talking about coming from the engine through the firewall, if you pull the carpet back under the driver side front, you should see a small perferated circle, peel that back and you can drill right there, thats where i drilled to run my amp power to the battery"


This was scalped from another topic and the info was posted by drh.

ok ok so its been awhile since ive been on.. life has been way busy.. if any one needs it email me and i can take some pics of my install.. everything is still messy under my seats, I havent taken the time to tie the wires together, but hey who cares when you got sound right? Anyways email me at danielhii@msn.com. Ive installed a 200w 4ch alpine to my new door speakers, cut the tweeters out for now until i can afford a component set that I want. I installed 2 12" subs inside a bypass box, a 2ch 400 watt dual(cheap amp) but it does plenty for these subs. new JVC head unit with USB interface on the front, recently installed the IPOD interface that lets me Control my ipod through the Head unit. Ill take pics of everything I can.

drh, email me pics and I'll host them on my webspace for you
