use the search bar it will do wonders. and instead of posting more and more threads of the some topic just bump the orginal one it will prevent a lot of people hating you.

If you can't find a grommet on the drivers firewall to pass the wiring through you might have to find a place to drill and use some sort of grommet. You don't want wires rubbing a drilled hole. No one answered this cause it's not that hard to figure out. Not trying to be a dick, but it's one of those things you learn by going right into and not asking for help til you have problem with let's say the gauge not working at all. What do your destructions that came with the gauge say?

well you will know if you do it wrong

We can only help through somewhat description. Some things like simple wire running is all on you, if you have even the slightest mechanical inclination, this gauge thing should be no problem.

its really hard to explain how to do something you just need to go out and try it learn from mistakes

This.

It took me the better part of a day to run the amp wiring (PWR, Remote, RCA's, Bass Controler) in my ride cause instead of trying the short route of removing some door trim I removed the passenger seat and entire rear seats, then lifted the carpet, ran the wiring right up the center, all nice and hidden. When I did the remote start, it also took almost the entire day cause I looked for the the best route then took my time running all the wiring, used a sh1t ton of zip strips. Made sure that when you sit in my car there are no visible wires and nothing dangling on your feet. Running wire is something that takes practice and patience, but it's not that hard. If you do short cuts they will come back to bite you in the a$$.

For my power I went on the passenger side, in between the top of the fender near the windshield cowl down to the rubber tube covering the wires going to the door, cut a slit and used a coat hanger to "FISH" the wire through to the passenger kick panel, then down the middle with the rest of the Amp wires. The ground I attached to the strut tower wall, used a wire brush to get bare metal contact, then used a 1/4 inch self taping screw to secure it. My ground wire is 2 gauge though. Oh I sealed that cut where I ran my power cable with some clear RTV, (knock on wood) no leaks yet.

See, if you can run amp wires, then gauge wiring should be a nice, fun job for you. Don't sweat the small stuff, we got you bro.

Vacuum will work fine. If you want stuff to look good like the factory, take your time and do that level of job on it.

If you make more than one post for the same thing...I'll lock and delete on you.
