Default Running Stereo Power

Trying to run a 4 guage power cable from the battery to the trunk to connect to my capacitor and then to my amps. Any suggestions on the best way to run through the firewall? Prefer not to be drilling holes, but if that's the easiest way, so be it.

I want to run along the passenger side of the car beneath the door plate. Soooo if anyone knows a good way to get from the bat to the passenger side thru the firewall, LEMME KNOW!

Thanks!!!

Chris

I saw that one, but can't make out which grommet he went thru.

According to that write up, he went through the one right under the brake master cylinder. Which is the same one I went through when I did mine. I just used a razor blade to make room for it to slide through.

I used that hole for my 4 ga. Streetwires cable. I did not have to cut it. It was hard to get it through until I put a little Armor All on it.

I used the one behind the battery. Made for a very easy run.

Just pull the batt. out and look behind it. the wire will drop down right behind the firewall on the pass. side.

There should be a grommet RIGHT near the battery, on the passenger side. If you can wait til this weekend, I can snap a photo of it for you. This was how I ran my wires.

this is the easiest and most direct route to get your power cable down the passenger side

Again, guys, thanks, I ran it across the engine compartment and throught the firewall near the master cylinder. Then down the door jam on the driver's side. That way all the wiring that will most likely cause interferance is on that side, and my RCAs can be run down the passenger side with my video cable for my rear camera.
