Is this the right ACC wire?
All of my parts have finally arrived and I'm getting ready to install it. I'm hoping I can get all this installed correctly.
Do I have the correct accessory power line (orrange) in this pic? I thought it was just a loose pigtail, but it seems to be connected to something.
Also, where should I expect to see the power line come through for the amp. I'm going to route it through the gromet fromt he FAQ. Do i need to remove the fuse box or something else?
Thanks yall!

Looking good...that is a nice pile of audio equipment. 
I'm not sure on the ACC wire...someone will chime in shortly.
You won't need to remove the fuse box for the power wire coming through the firewall grommet. It should come through right where you show in the picture (next to the big bundle of wires).
When I did it, I was careful and used a #2 phillips to push through the grommet. This gave me a little space to then push the power (4 ga) through the grommet between the screwdriver and the bundle of factory wires.
Just go slowly and watch what you are doing and you will move quicker than you expect. I was surprised how easy it was to add my sub and the wiring associated.
Keep us filled in as you progress...

Thanks Dave! I got a bit concerned when I saw all those wires. To be honest, it doesnt take much. 
I cant wait to get all of this installed, but since this is my daily driver, I think I am going to have to wait until this weekend to do the install. It's killing me to look at all this gear.
Hopefully someone else can chime in if this is the right place to grab accessory/switched power.

Yeah, if it's your DD, I'd wait until the weekend. It won't take you a ton of time, but it's good to be able to devote the time needed and do it all at once.
I'm sure some others will chime in on the ACC wire...here's a TTT to get you some more visibility.

use some kind of wire lube to push that power cable through. trust me, a little lube will glide that cable right through and you wont be cursing and swearing about how hard it is to push that cable in. also not sure about that ACC wire, hopefully greg or scott can chime in for that. I guess I should have looked to see what cable greg tapped into when he helped me out with my install
