I have never had this much trouble before, i had a trans-am, put a system in it not problem, put a system in my friends truck no problem. I know like over half of you have put a system in your contour, so please help me out please, i need to get my system in my car.

I ran the power cable through the hood pop hole down the drivers side of the firewall. I just knocked out the gromet and ran it through there. I was trying to avoid drilling through it by any means possible. Hope that helps you! Don WA2FAST http://wa2fast.stangnet.com

Do i just have to pull down the mat or what. I have no Idea what to do. Please can somebody just give me a run down from the battery past the fire wall. Where is the hood pop at. How do i run the power wire through there.
