i just bought a 98 accord ex and i set up my subwoofer and amp. the only problem is that i cant get the power wire to the battery. my friends father(mechanic) looked at the whole fire wall and he couldnt find a good spot to drill a hole, cuz A/C condenserwas in the way... there is a hole in the fire wall where there are factory wires runnin through the firewall but i cant get to it b/c its in a small spot behind the suspension and underneath the clutch fluid. any one ever wire an amp on a 98-02 accord b4, maybe you can help me??? i appriciate any help thanks.

 

if it is an automatic you can drill where the clutch would be, if not there should be room to poke through any of the larger grommets on either the driver's side or passanger's side where the harness goes through the firewall. goodluck

 

THE PASSENGWER SIDE IS EMPTY, BUT MY FRIENDFS FATHER SAID THAT THE A/C CONDENSER IS IN THE WAY ON THE INTERIOR PART OF THE CAR.SO I CANT USE THAT PLUG. AND BY THE DRIVERS SIDE ITS PRETTY TIGHT AREA TO GET THE DRILL THROUGH

 

When I installed my stuff in my crx, i just looked for holes that were already there, then took a coat hanger, straightened it out, and put it through to see where it would come out, once i found a big enough hole that was nice, i wired it from the bay area, into the car. I did that because of the inline fuse should stay in the bay area, because its supposed to be the shorter part of the wire connected to the batt, so then i just pulled the rest through. U get what im saying, or do i needa translate? If you cant find a hole.. i would just try putting it through where something else goes, or expanding a hole.. hmm but most likely just search around, there should be some hole.. somewhere..

 

not sure about the accord...but on the civic there was a plug on the firewall below the battery and to the right a little....worked perfectly for me ....just had to cut a hole in the middle of the rubber and then cut some of it away so the wire would squeeze thru
I would assume that and accord would have the same type of plug somewhere on the fire wall.....all else fails you can always just drill a hole thru the firewall and then once your wire is installed silicone it to be weather tight

Your friends father isn't a very good mechanic then. the condenser is up at the front by the radiator.

 

Someone needs a new set of tools. An angled-head drill will fit in those tight spaces easily.

 

yea in my old civic, it was easy to install. I brought it to a place he chrged me $20 to install the wire. this other place told me about $100 to install. soo it was worth it, Plus he left his test lamp in my trunk thanks anyways
