In your trunk just look for a bolt to run the ground from your amp to, make sure you get some of the paint under the bolt scraped off for a good connection. _____________________________ Member since Feb 2005 (in reply to ShadFX) Post #: 4

Is there power to the amplifier driving the sub woofers? Or are you saying there is power to the amp, but no noise is coming out the subs? _____________________________ Honda Civic 1.4i 16 valve (in reply to zuviex00) Post #: 6
