Step 1,

Open engine compartment and remove side trim on the driverside.






Step 2

Under the driverside dash on the side of the car is a plug, pull out the plug and run your wire through it into the sealed fender of your car, push as much wire through as you can untill you can reach it from the engine compartment, you may need a hanger or grab tool to get the wire. Make sure you cut a hole in the plug and run the wire through it (use a grommet if your wiring kit had one) then replace the plug, nothing worse than a draft.










Step 3

Remove clip over your trunk lock, and remove the panels, be carful of the center pillar, inside it is the airbag sensor(not that you could set it off but if you damage it it might not work when you want it) and remove your rear panels, now you can either pull the seat out or just push the wire through the space into the trunk.





there is a space to run the wire when this is removed,



And voila Power to the trunk, with no drilling, or altering of any metal or material in your car except the plug.

This is what you get after all the work lol.


I hope this helps, if any of the pics need to be better just ask I'll go out and take some more with panels off etc.

I hope this post isn't too long. sorry if it is

I had this posted Before and people keep askin about it so I figured I'd start a new thread with just this post, If the moderators want to add it to the DIY go to it
I gotta say man that is one clean a$s install bro! If you didn't know our stock premium radios are made by Clarion I just saw the sticker yesterday haha. I don't have a stock radio on anymore I upgraded to a Pioneer AVH-4000, but yeah your subs match up with the head unit =)
