Power Wire
Sunday, September 11, 2005 9:33 AM
I was installing my system the other day and ran into the problem of not being able to find a spot to get the wire from inside the car to the engine compartment. I tried making it fit through were all the stock wires go but cant seem to get it to go through. Any suggestions?

2 suggestions.

1) Drill a hole a little larger through the firewall. Large enough for a rubber grommet and your wire.

2) Take a flat headed screw driver, a long one. Push into the Large Rubber grommet where your stock wiring is, then turn its handle 90 degrees, that will give you a pry point to push your power wire through.

i just reached up under the dash witha razor blade and made a slit in the big grommet and used a cloth hanger to pull my wire through worked great.

I ran mine through the grommet where the clutch rod goes (out of the way of any pinch points), snaked it under the dash and under the drivers sill panel.
