i had a shop run the power. its under the carpet along the seat. you can bearly notice unless you feel for it.

one thing that it does do is make the fuse cap not fit correctlly. just a little flimsy. ive heard ppl running it under your shifter/center console. that way also takes a lot longer, so i hope you have a spare car.

ya when i had it done i had to leave it over night. they told me it was a real pain. but i also had new terminals, fuses, and grounds ran too. it cost about 75 bucks/labor. but i also got a vip card, jk, for spending so much money on audio. lol

thanks man, so you just paid them to run the wire???? i wonder how much that would cost me. but i might as well have them install the second battery while im at it. oh i dont get the vip treatment cause i always buy so much stuff online. lol

ya the 4 year warranty kinda sold me. i also run a second battery. i run about 2000 watts igve or take and have zero electrical problems. im pretty sure your car came with a 125 or 150 amp alternator.

if you get an extra battery make sure its the right size/burst amps for your setup or its kinda pointless.
