oh sorry finding hte hole what year is your car on my car it is near the battery down and to the right there is a pik in the do it yourself section. and how to install them i believe dont quote me. umm ifu cant find one u could make your own, B.T.W. do you think you could do this yourself like if u dont know were the plug is then i dont think u will know how to hook them up. there is a rubber cap over the hole most likely

all civics from 1990 to 2006 have two access entry's to get through your firewall , ones on the driver side its a knock out grommet and the other is on the passenger side behind the fuse box.

if your going to use a wire gauge bigger then 2 then your going to have to drill your own hole

it will be easy to find start looking on the driver side and you will find a black circle rubber knock out , the other way to find it is look from inside your car to see if you can see it from the inside if you can then punch it out with a plat head screw driver

answer : sure , if you want to run a 2 gauge or 0 gauge wire or if you want to run 2 wires in or if say your amp is located on the passenger side of the car and you don't want to run the wire from the battery to the river hole to the passenger side ( in effect allot of wire and resistance ) you can make your own hole

in many other cars you have to drill your own hole allot of them don't have knock out plugs
