Default Nice. Where will you pass the wire through the firewall?

I'm in the process of installing my LE-30 and haven't found a good place to do this yet.
I looked at the ECU wire harness, but that looks like it'd be a tight fit.

Default Re: Are you doing the install or having it done by

I'll be doing it. I would never trust anyone else to work on electronics in my cars. I am very very picky, and have a long custom car audio background. Installation looks easy, and should take a few hours. Actually mounting the units will take the longest, since I want to keep them up, and will most likely mount them low in the main grill. I can fab ABS/steel brackets with left over stock from the old stereo shop. Looking forward to it, and I will take pics of the install.

Default Through the ECU box will work fine. All the wires have RJ11 connectors, and I have a work van ...

... full of car/home electronics tools. If it is tight, I will remove the connector and replace it after it is through the firewall.

We'll see how getting the wires up to the trunk lid, and hood go. I am a man that loves making every add on electronic units look as if they were stock when the car was new, NOT looking like a dealer add on.
