Amp Cable and front speaker install
 
Hello everyone! I'm replacing the radio and speakers in my '98 Volvo S70 GLT, but I can't find a grommet to put the power cable to the firewall to the battery. I have it coming on the Driver's side, but I can't find something to put it through. I got almost everything installed, Head unit completely in, Sub and sub amp coming next week. Any Ideas?

Also, I need to get speaker wire to the front speakers, and need to route it to the door. I took off one panel under the steering wheel, but had seen a air bag box and not much else to route it to the door. Any idea. Pics and videos of previous build is greatly appreciated.

why are yo running new wire through the door? the existing wire for the OEM speakers is already in there and it is 14 GA fine core, more than enough to put lots of amperage (for a speaker system.

Best way to run through the firewall is to drill a new hole.

Ok is it? Is the coloring the same for the wires? I'm putting in a component speaker by the way.

components work fine. you will need to custom mount the tweeters and cross over. You must reuse the factory speaker adapter.

I honestly wouldn't bother with the tweeters on the speaker kit. I have done systems both with and without installing the tweeters and I or my customers heard NO DIFFERENCE.

no I forgot the color of the wires off hand, but is does not hatter which polarity, because they can be hooked up ither way and it does not effect anything.
