I just hooked up a line level converter to my rear speaker. Sounded excellent, and I'm really **** about audio.

There is a gromit towards the center of the car but still more to the driverside that can be pushed out and you can run the power through that. Itis decent sized hole and you should have no trouble fitting any wire size through it.

On the drivers side, under the panel (inside the car). I see an open post that you should be able to run a power line for your amp to it. Though I haven't done it yet, but the post is marked as a 12v power source.

I am going to guess that isn't a real high amperage connection, and would be a little worried using it. I am not sure though I don't feel like going out in the rain to look, could be wrong.

The connection post inside the car is the same setup/style as the one connected to the battery. There is one main power line running from the battery, and it connects directly to the post inside the car. Kind of hard for me to describe and I can't take a pic of it cause my car is in a diffeerent State atm.

If you want some good audio, get an EQ and have a shop (or someone you know) adjust it with a spec-an and a mic from the drivers seat. You can make the shittiest speakers sound like the best speakers on the market using the fletcher munson curve to get the freqs all positioned correctly!

I used the gromet and hole in the drivers side for my boost gauge and my power to the amp.

So i removed the lower dash under my steering wheel and found that gromit towards the center of the car right above the gas pedal and it was an excellent entry point. Sub sounds excellent Thanks guys.
