[QUOTE="DylanBeatz, post: 8509905, member: 598533"] First I had to get it wired. I started this last week when my wire showed up in the mail. I got 20 ft of KnuKonceptz 0 gauge oxygen free copper wire for $80 shipped. I also have about 15feet of 0 gauge Rockford Fosgate wire that I took out of my old Mustang. I'm running the ground all the way from the battery up front to the trunk where i will eventually have another separate battery. So it will be 1 positive and 1 negative as well running from the front battery to the trunk. I didn't feel like messing with searching for a good ground and the wire really wasn't that expensive and this way I'm guaranteed to have a good ground connection. I heard that to get wire through the firewall in a Tiburon you have to take off the front driver side wheel and then take off the wheel well cover and then you can find a nice size hole to put the wire through. So i jacked my car up and it turned out my lug nuts were too tight to unscrew with my lug wrench that came with the car. I had to take my car to a car shop down the road where they loosened them for me the next day. Then i jacked the car up and the jack leaned over.

Wheel off and wheel well cover off [URL="http://s210.photobucket.com/user/DylanDude26/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160615_120704676.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb45/DylanDude26/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160615_120704676.jpg[/IMG][/URL] It was extremely hot this day, 90 degrees and humid with the high June sun. I was soaked in sweat working on that hot asphalt. I got pretty sun burnt since I took my shirt off to cool down. Wished I had a cooled garage haha Starting to run the wire [URL="http://s210.photobucket.com/user/DylanDude26/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160615_120641538.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb45/DylanDude26/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160615_120641538.jpg[/IMG][/URL] This is looking from inside the wheel well at the opening i put the wire through [URL="http://s210.photobucket.com/user/DylanDude26/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160615_120649220.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb45/DylanDude26/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160615_120649220.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Instead of cutting a hole in the rubber and running the wire through there i just left this piece unattached like this. Do you guys think that that is okay to leave like that? [/QUOTE]
