amp on/off fuse access

[Colllin]

I'm a bit confused can someone tell me in more detail how to run the wire through the fuse access and one more thing where is the best place to hid the wires?

Gimme a Few mins IM uploading pictures for you

EDIT:

Alright Since you have a stock radio, you are gonna want a switch to turn it on and off . OR tap a fuse(local auto shop should have them, then run the wire from there to the amp). What I did is put in a switch.
How I did this is I got an inline fuse(10A) and ran it from the positive on the batter to the front of the car.
Fuse(the small one) Which I pushed through a grommet you can only see from looking at it from above the pedals in the car. To push it through I taped it and the power wire(big red cable) for the amp on a metal coat hanger, first you need to stab it with a screw driver tho :

Then I got a rocker switch from radioshack and drilled a hole for it to fit in here:


I had to ground it so that went here(behind the drivers fuse panel on the bolt:

Then from the switch I ran the wire down under the carpet, the carpet can be lifted up quite a but if you pull up the plastic panels, be careful cause the clips in them break pretty easy, Just pull up on the gently and they'll pop out.
Eventually you will get it ran all the way to the back in the trunk. :


to get the RCA wire for the amp you need to get a Line Output Converter. I would recommend one from http://davidnavone.com/cart.asp?24&cat=7

Then solder the connections for the line output converter to your rear 6x9's.:



Hope I helped. Im going to church but I can help you in a few hours.

I hear you can hook up the remote on/off thing wire from your fuse panel on the driver side, I don't really want a switch because knowing me i would forget to turn it off so how would i go by attaching the wire that goes to my amp telling it to go on/off from the fuse panel on the driver side.
Installed line out converter already.

and how much wire will i need from battery to trunk

I think I have around 17 feet. Just be safe and get extra You can always cut it if there's too much extra. go with at least 4 gauge wire.

ok basically you need to get a fuse that only works when the car is on, for example the windows/sunroof. there is a piece of metal that goes onto one of the prongs then comes up, from there you can put a wire on it.

awesome thanks

where did you run your ground wire from your battery

[Gr1m]

ground wire can be anywhere in the car, just make sure you sand down the paint to bare metal and make a solid connection with your grounds and it will be fine.

When you put down your seat there's a bolt you can loosen and put your ground there then tighten it again

Sweet! I didn't know about that ground. I was thinking somewhere down in the spare tire cover. but that bolt one seems like a good idea.

Aha I didn't know where one was then I put the seat down I saw it and I used it LOL..

for the amp's remote you wire it to the left side (side that is torwards the engine) of the wiper fuse.

can someone show me a picture of running the battery wire through the grommet under the driver side dash and through the engine bay.
