Chris Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 If I were you, I'd put the biggest kinetik that you can fit into that open battery slot and do the big 3 right away. This way you won't be cutting wires later on once they are all ran. This way you will also have less resistance (by using 4 less feet) have better voltage, and easy access to the grommet to run the wire thorugh from the kinetik after you do the big 3. Save some time later on along with a headache or 2.

Derrick824 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 If you can't find a hole to run the wire through you can always drill a hole and use a grommet/bushing such as these. http://cgi.ebay.com/Firewall-Grommet-4-AWG...1QQcmdZViewItem http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=263-635 Its been a while since I ran my wire but I remember the door sill plates popping right out and having a tract underneath that was perfect for running the power wire through. Also since you have top posts on your battery I recommend using some quality terminals. They're easy to install, look great, and aren't that expensive. Here's a link to the ones I'm using. They're RF platinum series and they're only $37 for the pair. I got mine a year ago through HDA for $20. http://cgi.ebay.com/2-ROCKFORD-FOSGATE-0-1...VQQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roscoe1129 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 its not that bad, I have done it with about every vehicle i have owned, just get a new terminal that has plenty of connections for all of your factory wires and your new ones. it is worth it trust me.

Derrick824 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I'm just nervous about cutting off the factory plug. I know that feeling. Its not that hard to put it back to stock if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like the wire is already tight enough. If I cut it, it will make it that much more difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe1129 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 see if its tied down some where and see if you can unhook/clip it for more slack Quote Some people need a sympathetic pat... on the head...with my hammer Scientia est Vox "In Nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti" DONT BE AFRAID TO USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!

ChevyBoy Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 doesnt the nut on top of the terminal make it stay tight? just put the terminal on that. or just get a second battery and put them back on as a top post, and put the accessory wires on the side. done.
