Where to run power wire for an amp?

[CA1978]

Ok I finally have all my speakers. I need to run my 4 gauge wire for my amp. Since the battery is on the passenger side is there anywhere to run the wire through on that side? I would hate to have to drill a hole in the fire wall and use a grommet.

I just ran the wire over to the drivers side and slipped it in between the firewall and a grommet already being used with a bunch of wires running through it.

You are most likely going to have to go over to the driverside because the passenger side can be a real bitch to drill anything through with the heater cor and a/c stuff all right there.

hey man.. i jussssst got done running 4 gauge wire annnnd 1/2 air line to my trunk from the pass. side of the car... i have a 92 LX and on the fire wall there was a rubber plug type of thing that popped right out and i ran the wire/lines through that.. i have a chipped ECU and my computer sits on the floor so i dont know if you will have to unbolt the ecu to get to that hole or not.. but if you look below the glove box where the the fire wall is you should see that plug and it should pop right out with some pliers! good luck..

^no, that isnt in the way, there is a hole there that u can snake wires thru without problem

right on man... thanks for the reasurance!

i just ran mine through the drivers side, i didnt want to mess anything up, and i had enough wire, just make sure if you do drill a hole you use a gromit, you dont want to have your power wire ground it self out....

I used the exact same spot too, i couldn't find the spot on the driver side and I found the passenger side plug much much faster and it was really easy to get the power cable through! But by the sounds of it you can go either way, i dont think there is a wrong way to do it, either way your getting the power cable through the firewall but i'm sure there are people that like to argue that the way they did it is the right way and everyone else is wrong.

I just ran mine trough a little hole at the top of the bay right behind the fuse box.

Thanks for all the info. Hopefully I will be able to finish up tonight if I get out of my meeting tonight. I don't have a garage and doing shit at night sucks if you can't see.

No Need To Go To Thje Driver Side. Its Ugly Waste Of Time Adn Why Make The Wire Longer Than It Needs To Be

[papychulo82]

there isn't a "right" or "wrong" way, but there is a "easier" way...simply pull back the carpet in the passenger side underneath the glove box..you should see a lil black rubber grommet..pull it inside because i do believe its 2 parts...then just leave the outer part to protect the wire and run it thru there and down the passenger side of your car...i'll get some pics of it to show you..

well in my 90, i ran the wire from the batt to the driverside(up the rt fender, then along the top), cause i found a hole already there with a cover on it near the pedals/exsisting wires) on the driverside..so i just had to open it and run it in there...

then i ran it toward the shifter...tucked it under and the amp is under my seat

Same here

You can run it from the accesory hole in the kick panel under carpet..

[accordme93]

yeah definitely run it through the passenger side. that's the way to go and keep it cleaner looking.
