Use a self tapping screw on a piece of the metal near your amp. Sand off the area where the washer or ring terminal will be. Screw down the ring terminal onto the bare shiny metal. Say hello to your new ground with low resistance.

it took a little bit to get the self tapper to go in, but it worked out great, and it's completly hidden out of sight. |

i don't think solder is going to make THAT big of a difference in this application. but I agree, I did solder my ACC wire behind the HU. |

Again though, make sure to use a multimeter to verify this. Always feels good to know for sure. |

Use a multimeter to check and see which wire it is. Put the positive end into the socket which you think is the ACC wire, and the negative end to ground. Swich on the cars ignition, and if it reads 0v when the car's off, and about 12v when it's on, then you know. I'm almost positive it's light purple w/ a silver stripe. I've seen some say blue, some purple...and when I used a meter to the purple w/ silver it was the ACC wire. i've had my set up for about a year now w/ no problems. I could totally be wrong here, but i'm trying to think really hard which one I used. I will update this post and put more detail soon, don't worry, i just need some time. |

thank you for this DIY... saved me $300+tax on an install and was able to spend a little more on equipment.
i was confused and being new to car electronics and modifications i was a little hesitant with slicing into unknown territory, so i went ahead and searched for "acc fuse 12v" on this website and found an easy way to complete this step: *** Then a remote wire... *** I just removed the factory HU to get an ACC wire(use this thread) *** http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3534 Check out this thread (post #7): * Where the 12V locate? you really only need to follow step 1 and 2 on that post. it's a little confusing @ first, and the pictures are missing on that post... just do the following: 1.) remove fuse #35 from the fusebox located right above dead floor pedal on drivers side. 2.) insert a mini "add-a-circuit" with two 7.5 fuses included in the kit, or buy an extra one just in case. the 7.5 fuse inside the fusebox will not work... you need to use the kind that come with the kit. 3.) run the ACC wire thru the left hand side drivers section how you see fit. 4.) enjoy! thanks to gulfcoastghosthunters for the DIY... it works
