    Run it on the passenger side under the door sill. Pul the carpet back under the glove box and toward the ground there is a rectangular rubber grommet. Push your power wire through that grommet and pull through the engine bay to the battery. Run the power wire to underneath the passenger seat, or to the trunk by cutting a hole in the rubber thing behind the seat. Also run the remote wire for the amp on this side.

    The RCA cables should go on the opposite side.

    Surprised, normally Joe would say something like:

    Run wire through hole you just busted in your windshield and hood, attach to alternator, and don't cover it. Wires don't need covered or protected.

    The rubber thing behind the seat?
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I've never understood that either, but I just ran them separate to be safe :P

    I resorted to running mine under my car and back into the trunk through that pressure flap in the trunk, then sealing it with expanding foam... 1/0 gauge is damn annoying to hide in a car.

    Anyone know what that flap is really for? I've heard it's to relieve pressure when slamming doors, didn't notice any difference there. Then I've heard it's so air can escape so the vents work properly... again, no difference. And finally I've also heard it's to let fumes and such out if you keep gas or something similar in your trunk, but I don't do that for fear of wrecking my Fi Q's D:
