Prelude Sub-Install

I'm installing a sub in my 96 prelude, and i ran into a problem with running the power chord to the battery. Do i need to drill any holes into the firewall? or are there any pre existing holes i can use?

Re: Prelude Sub-Install

Provided your power wire isn't above 4 gauge, you should be able to cut a small hole in one of the rubber boots or grommets in your firewall and push or pull the power wire through. Drilling the firewall for a power wire is a bad idea.

Why make new holes when a preexisting one with an OEM grommet works just as well?

Re: Prelude Sub-Install

look behind your fuse box on the passenger side under the hood, there should be a pretty good hole there, if not then I geuss and previous owner cut a hole there on mine

Re: Prelude Sub-Install

As has already been mentioned, unbolt your fuse box on the passenger side, pull it up a bit, and the rubber grommet is right there.. its plenty large.
