Power wire, were to run it?
Friday, September 09, 2005 4:07 PM
Alright so far i have the power wirin comin from the battery down under the car, following the metal lines under there leadin to the back. Now im as far as the rear of the door ( back of the front seats) Where can i run my wire into the car? i noticed a "drain plug" (that matel circle that u can pop out in the floor of the car) that is right in the middle of the back floor. is there any others under the rear seat or some place under there to run the wire through? and how do u take the bottum of the back seat off?

I ran mine down the passenger side, tucked it into the plastic panels on the left, and the fished it thru the back seat. You don't have to take it out in order to run the wire.

a 4 gauge wire tucked into the plastic panels??? well i dont want to rip up the plastic panels because i have extremly bad luck with that every other car i end up breakin them or something. i was just wonderin how to take the back seat out incase there was a hole or something under it that i can bring my power wire through.

To take the seat out, push it to the left, tilt it forward towards you, and then it should pop off to the right. I've run 0 gauge wire back and didn't have to take my back seat out (now to put in the sub box was a different story)

^ i was wondehow r to take the back seat out because my power wire i ran under the car, outside under the car, not inside i'm lookin for a hole somewhere close to the trunk that i can run the wire in through the flooor to my amp on the back of the seat. I'm not runnin it inside the car through the firewall because well because i dont want to i guess.

Whoah killer, why'd you run it outside of your car? That's not good at all.

Because i didn't wanna rip up everything in the car to route it to the trunk, Sorry if i came across pissed or disrespectful i didn't mean to. I ran it like that before on my Buick regal and never had a problem...

There's no holes that I know of in the trunk. You could always drill one, put a grommet in the hole, and seal around the cable.

Scary that your running your power wire directly next to your Gas lines.

and BTW, Its very hard to break the clips on the floor trim, I have a 4 gauge and 2 8 gauge wire running under that trim and my RCA lines on the other side.

However, the only place i think you may be anble to enter the trunk from the out side, is either the pressure vents, or the spare tire well.
