rattlecancustom Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 should you always run them through the firewall then the inside ? if your using thick (1/0) wires why can't/wouldn't you run them from the battery under the car then through a hole on the trunk floor? they have thick insulation, just zipp tie or secure then along some thing already there, brake or fuel lines.

WickeD Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 People do run there power wires under there car, I am pretty sure i saw one of Meade's builds use a PVC pipe under his car that he used to protect his wires. Quote

Forevrbumpn Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 all meades cars he runs under the cars along the frame, or inside the frame, held in place with metal strapping Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
rattlecancustom Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Posted June 21, 2007 all meades cars he runs under the cars along the frame, or inside the frame, held in place with metal strapping yeah. that's what i was thinking, instead of making a big-ass hole in the firewall and having a lump running down your floor.

FieroGrande Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 You can run them under that car as mentioned above. Just be sure to zip tie them to a location that isnt going to get hot or isnt going to rub against something else. Good luck on the running of the wires! Quote
01xtreme Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 you can run it under the carpet fairly easily without having a visible lump, but it you secure the wire strong enough then you can run it under the car even easier.

Chris Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 I'd say if you're running anymore than 1 power & 1 ground of 1/0gauge, it gets kinda hard to fit them inside the car, but where there's a will, there's a way!

dleccord Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 start cutting the firewall. then run your wires. fill the holes/gaps with hot glue i guess. Quote refs: chode69, superduper
Guest Nismofreak Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 I ran my under the car and tucked them in a place behind any places where anything sharp can touch it.......I use some electrical tube holders that are fairly good and inexpensive.... Quote
