jrath Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I plan to have two runs of SHCA 2/0 wire from front to back. I want to run the wire under the car. 1. Do you recommend convulated tubing or PVC pipe to protect the wire under the car? 2. I can't find any rubber grommets large enough for SHCA 2/0 wire (3/4 inch inner diameter). Any recommendations.

TRON Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Unless you're going to be rock crawling with the risk of the wire being scraped, then you don't need to cover them. Google. There's lots of places that have grommets as large as 3''. http://www.cableorganizer.com/grommet/ Avalanche Alpine Type S comps Alpine Type S 10'' Alpine MPR-F300 Alpine MRX-M50 Mechamn 270 XS Power d3400s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiolamb6 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 theres been a few members that have found ways to do their runs outside but in the body one that comes to mind is scooters civic so it really depends on the ride you have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockFord_Expedition Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I have 1 run of SHCA 2/0 ran under my expedition. I live in southern AZ and besides heat, my wire really isn't exposed to the elements. I've had 0 issues. I doubled up zipties about every 18" - 24" and its been fine for the 13 or 14 months ive had it that way. Keep it a safe distance away from exaust pipes and make sure the wire isn't lower than any of the rest of your vehicles frame or anything. For grommets ive seen people use PVC Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moredbs Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Depends on your vehicle, and the route options you have available . On my truck all my runs are tucked up in the running boards for most of the way. i haven't owned a car in over 10 years,but when i did,i always ran my wire in the vehicle.You could use pvc and tech flex ,if you want peace of mind.
