ndummitt1223 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 I bought an amp and i need to run the wires from my car battery to my cars interior. Do i need to pull up the carpeting to run the wires? Or do i just make a hole myself?

jeyrapboy Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 pop the hood and look for where wire already run through the firewall and see if you can fish the wire through there. If not you will need to drill a hole in your firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeyrapboy Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 And depending on how thick the wire is you could always run the wire under your trim panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried to stick a few things through the firewall and no luck, it seems like theres metal between the engine and the interior, is the firewall just made out of some plastic that i need to drill thru?

rubbernutz1 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 firewalls are always metal. if you cant find a grommet in it from the factory youl have to drill your own hole. dont try to run your wire through your door jam cus thats sum dangerous shit = fire hazzard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reallunacy Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 In my Intrepid I ran it under the car. I removed the backseat and there were already some holes there that had been plugged at the factory. You may want to check that option out.
