okay i just got my knu konceptz kit today and am expecting my jbl tomorrow. i've got a few last questions, if someone could answer each one i'd appreciate it

1. with the knu rca's you have the right and left channel cables, but between the 2 there is a very thin cable with about 1/8 inch of the coating stripped off, is that the remote wire? i thought built in meant built in to the rca's themselves, if so it dosent matter, i just want to know whether to connect it or not.

2. after i get the power wire thru to the cabin where can inside the car can i expect it to poke through at?

3. is 4 guage hard to fit under the side trim plastic thing? im assuming thats how everyone got it from the front of the car to the trunk. it seems like when i put it back on the screws will go thru the power wire.

4. on my driver's side plastic trim thing( or whatever its called, hehe) the second to rear screw the one near the passengers seat, the screw is stripped and i cant get it out, any suggestions? this is also the deepest and hard to see, that screw is burried in that plastic.

1)yep, remote
2)above the brakepedal
3)jus squeeze it inder there w/o removing the screws, thats what i did
4)see 3



hope that helps.... tell us how the JBL sounds, so i can prep for my 1200.1 he he he!

squeeze it w/out removing screws???? it looks difficult, but i'll try, i cant even hardly pry the edge of it up

Thatâ??s weird on my car I had the same problem that was the only screw I couldn't get out.

You don't have to pry the plastic up, just peel back the rubber trim. This allows you to push the wires right under the plastic trim without dealing with the annoying screws. The trim just pushs back on no problem. After I figured this out I was kicking myself for having unscrewed all the plastic in the past.

okay i'll have to look at the trim again, but it still seems like after i lift the rubber it'll be impossible to get 4 guage under there

blacke1, how'd you end up getting it off

hey path i like the sig. hehe
enjoy yoself its a celebration!!! haha

First of all, I didn't put that in my sig, its just myfastse messing with me again (just wait Eric... ).

Regarding the post, I fit a 4-channel twisted RCA cable, 2 twelve-gauge speaker wire sets and a remote wire all in the space under the trim. I don't think your one four gauge wire will be a problem at all.

well i'll look at it when i get my car back its in shop getting my clutch fixed, i got a new one like 2 months ago for $670 with labor and well its already slippin so the guy is gonna fix it for free. i couldnt do it today anyway we got 4 inches of snow this morning, and my amp still isnt here should be by tomorrow tho, its supposed to 65 degrees sunday so when i get it done i'll let yall know how it went and i'll try to get a digi cam borrowed

I see in your sig you picked the 12" ed O? Niiiiice.

I sent you a PM on that wire problem, seen it? Hope it helped.


Just how big is 4 gauge?, heck I may have 6 gauge which is smaller...
