    wire to battery thru firewall

    where is the best location to run a positive wire lead thru the firewall on an LX, directly to the battery from the cabin?

    for some reason, my battery positive lead on the stock stereo harness doesn't get power at all... but i do get full voltage on the ACCESSORY wire when the ignition is on... fuses are all OK under the left driver's side flip-down fuse box

    in the middle of installing a Kenwood stereo & Apline speakers... and looking for the safest way to wire a hot lead to the battery....

    There is a rubber plug to the left of where the throttle wires come through. That's where I run my extra wires.

    thats were i ran mine in the sedan. the coupe i had the fender off anyway so i ran my 10 for my stereo and 8ga for my speaker amp through the factory harness and my 4ga for my sub amp through another hole below it.



    this where it comes out inside the car

    It's not failure, it's redefined objectives!

    i personally would never run anythign that big along side the factory harness to much interference from the unshielded 12v amp cable
