Good morning Civicx,
Was starting to gather my parts for my headunit install. I was wondering how people were routing their power wire from the battery to the cabin for their amps?
Is there a fairly obvious grommet in the firewall that would work? I've looked in the engine bay maybe twice since picking the car up Thursday so I haven't dug deep.
Headunit: Pioneer AVH-p8400bt have this laying around from previous car, worked great just doesnt have android auto. Or I'm considering the Sony XAV-AX100 for android auto, volume knob and the OEM-like look...plus about $100-150 less than a pioneer/kenwood, though the kenwoods allow to use the OEM mic which is a nice plus.
Trim: Metra 95-7812B
Wiring: Metra 70-1731 for wiring, 40-HD11 for antenna, and AX-TOYUSB or PAC USB-TY1.
Still have the ASWC-1 as well so just need to rewire the new wiring
Front door speakers: Kicker 6.5" 43DSC6504 2 ways.
Amp: Kenwood KAC-M3001 mono amp 300w @ 2ohm rms
Sub: Kicker CompRt 8" 43TCWRT82 compact sub box with passive radiator
Or if I'm being lazy I could just get a LOC and use the stock HU...but I think the audio controls are lacking.
At this point I know that the rear view camera will only work with 1 view mode and the factory MIC will not work unless I have a Kenwood HU. Wonder if the Sony is similar, know the Pioneers wont work.
Thanks in advance for any guidance/opinions.
