What did you connect the red and black cables that came with the jumper cables from auto harness ? I know the red was for the remote turn on for the amp , what was the black wire connected too ?

Hey thank you for this video and great job on the install. I have a question, does your WRX have the factory Harmon Kardon premium audio? I was just wondering where you are getting your audio signal from. I am assuming you are getting the signal from your cars factory amplifier in the head unit? Just curious. Thanks again.

The red power wire “amp turn on” is where you connected your remote wire? Did you connect the blue wire from the kicker box as well or just straight from the red wire on harness?

There is another grommet underneath the fender liner that comes out a little higher so you don't have to cut a hole in the insulation. I did remove the grommet to drill it out and poke my wires through. I noticed you didn't show the reinstall of the fender liner which I found to be a real hassle.

So glad someone finally made a video about this. I’ve had the materials in my garage for months now I’m trying to block off some time to take care of the rear and front bumper. I did paint match my own fenders, but for some weird reason the paint companies sent me a mid coat, which I didn’t notice until I was completely done kind of made the ceramic white a little yellow and sparkly. I ended up ordering a set from Aeroflowdynamics.

When I did this on my 2014, I did it in the reverse order, fed the short end of my power cable into the grommet from inside the car, then I used a coat hanger to grab the cable and pull it into the engine bay. This method is def cleaner, and might be necessary to get through the grommet cleanly. On my old, I just shoved a screw driver through it and jammed the cable through lol. Great video though, this is absolutely helpful.
