Re: Rocker Panel Removal

["Adam Lindsay" <adam@mindex.com>]

I just did an amp install over the weekend. Good luck getting the Power wire
through the wall between your engine and cabin. You will find a lot more
space to run wires along the right side of the car than the left.

Also there is an existing ground post in the center of you back seats. Just
lift the seats and it is right there.

Once I got through the wall I found the rest amaizingly easy.
