Run power cable where?

[lifeguardinme19]

I'm getting ready to install a new two channel amp for some new speakers I installed in my doors, and I'm just curious as to where you guys have run your power cable through the firewall. I was looking on the passenger side around the heater box, is that where I should run it. Thankx guys,

P.S. I've always loved this site, it rules!!

search it...you will find everything you need to know about where to run it. Most people remove their PCM and there is a large hole that will take like 00 gauge wire.

But try doing a search.

the PCM comes off with two 10mm bolts (i think it's 10), and you can kinda set it off to the side, and cut an X in the rubber grommet on the firewall, then stick a screwdriver or something through to clear the path and fish the wire into the passenger floor board

thanks guys, that's exactly what I was planning on doing, just didn't know if anyone had run it somewhere else like on the drivers side. Now I got a project for tomorrow :cool:

When I got my car it was already installed. It was run on the drivers side, to the left and a little above the clutch pedal with a hole drilled through the firewall and the little plastic part that's on the inside.

I'm pretty sure they put it there because my RCAs go down the passenger side. They go there because of the EQ in the glovebox :D

I'd yank it and rerun it down the passenger side! I'd say 95% of all the engine noise in stereos I've EVER seen or heard was because of a power wire run all the way across the engine bay. It has the tendancy to induce WAY too much noise for my tastes. Eve if the RCA's and EQ are in the glove box, you can run the power wire on the passenger side within a foot or so of the RCA's without a problem.

Good suggestion, but I'll leave it where it is. The thing is, I've never heard any engine noises so it's not a problem. If I ever get any noise, I will move it but it's not really a problem right now.

Thanks though!
