    I am trying to wire up my MTX's and can't find a place to go through the firewall. I've looked for grommets on both sides and can't find much. Any info would be great.

    What do you mean inside out? I looked at that grommet, should I just put a little slice in it and try the coathanger trick?

    Well i did a number on that grommet. I taped the wire to a screwdriver and pushed but all it did was push that square piece in, so now I don't know what to do, still no wire through it.

    Sorry for all the questions but how do I get that grommet apart? Kind of seems like a two piece thing to me.

    Pry it up with a screw driver. The bottom art under the top is thing and you should be able to push threw that one. The top is thick and needs to be cut.

    As long as you put the square piece back in, you'll be okay.
