Default Amp install and wire routing

For those that have installed amps in their 21s, what route did you take with your power wire through the engine bay? I know I’ll be going though the grommet on the drivers side but wasn’t sure of the best path/attach points to get to the battery side. I have a single kicker comp 10” and amp on the way to supplement the low end for the B&O 8 speaker system and I’m just thinking though my pathway for when my stuff arrives. Any pictures would be helpful as well.

thanks!

Default Passenger side

I would avoid the wire waste (from passenger to drivers side) I would drop the wire behind the battery/along the fire wall on the outside of the frame and cut a slot on the rubber plug under the front passenger seat. Then along the edge under the plastic trim by the door to the rear.

I haven't run mine yet but I would use this grommet on the passenger side.

This right here is so much better in my opinion! No cutting or messing with grommets near important electronics in the engine bay.

I went the easy route, have the B&O and removing the sub leaves a big hole.

Just ran it through there and zip tied loosely to the frame down the outside of the passenger side frame rail.

I ran it thru the rubber grommet right behind the battery on the passenger side. removed wheel liner to gain access there easier. pulls thru under the dash close to the floor board. from there just ran down under doorsills to the back

Did you 3D print a plate for that? If so do you have the STL? Im going to do this tomorrow.

Thanks,
Chris
