Default Amp Power Wire......Help!

Okay Forum:
I've searched high and low.....
Multiple sights....I have posted on this forum under the Mazda 5 board.......

"Where can I run my Power Cable through the Firewall"

I cant find anywhere....People say remove the glovebox......

Where are their instructions????

It's not like I haven't researched myself for about a week now......



Tips? Pictures?

Thanks!

I have instructions for a Mazda 6 glove box removal, i'm sure they are pretty close.
If not check your owner's manual.

Don't forget to run an extra ground from the battery to vehicle body as well!

There is no instructions for the Mazda 5 in my manual.....
People keep talking about behind the pedals.......

I don't see it.....

Am I crazy or is this power cord the hardest part of this whole install?

Can you peel the carpet/insulation back from behind the pedal from the inside, and from the outside remove the battery? Removing the battery should give you a better view. Then you can drill a hole and put a grommet around the wire going thru (or silicone would suffice).

Hell my power wire went through the firewall under the glovebox. There is a plastic cover for wiring from the electronic's to the engine and it had a rubber guard. Took that off and it went in. Find out if there is one for your car.
