i have a 91 civic dx and im trying to run my 8 guage wire to my amp from the battery, but dont knew where in the engine bay i can send the wire through into my interior? where can i do this?


also the blue remote starter wire, where does this hookup, there already seems to be a blue wire going into my deck, where do i connect this wire so that my amp turns on when i start my car.

there should be rubber plugs you can run the 8 gauge thru..
i've done it with 0 gauge so 8'll be a breeze..

the blue wire goes to the amp.. remote start connection

i dont think there is a blue wire coming out of my deck then, theres no free wires that i see, what can i do to have remote start instead?

there should be a wire saying remote or something along those lines coming out of the deck..could be a different color
(remote antenna??)

another option would be to tap into yer fuse panel to a 12v switched power source..something that doesn't see any voltage until the key is flipped forward (courtesy or running)

btw..what deck do you have..i'll see if i can find a manual for it

when i was running the power wire, i found a blue wire that looks like the remote wire coming straight from the battery and into the car, however it was cut, and just hanging near my deck? could this be the wire? does it have to run to my deck or do i just run it right to my amp.,....ill get my deck model for you when i go back out

blue wire/white stripe is yer remote wire..
splice in a wire from it to the amp..
red is switched power, yellow is constant
