2003 or 2002 Explorer Amp installation

Hi all,

I'm getting ready to do my first audio installation in my 2003 Explorer (Eddie Bauer). I am checking things out first and want to have all my ducks in a row before I start the installation.

I have an Infinity amp that I am going to put under the 2nd row seat, and was wondering how y'all got power to your amps through the firewall. I would prefer not to drill if at all possible, so if anyone knows of another way through, please let me know! If I do have to drill, where is the best place to do it and what sort of bit do I need? Will an amp installation kit come with a grommet, or do I need to look for one of those too?

The rest of the system is: 5.25 MBQuarts for the front, Pioneer 7500 MP HU. In the future I plan on installing something for the rear doors (any suggestions?) and possible upgrading the factory sub and sub amp.

IMO just look for where the other wiring comes through the firewall. should be something u can manage to get the wiring through. if its in a bad location or can't fit it, then ya, u would have to drill. thats what i would do but i aint as knowledgable as the others so may wanna c what they say too
