Where has everyone run there amp wire. I have 4 gauge wire and i was wondering how people were running from there engine bay into the car. i saw this gromet on the passeger side but the airbag and i think some airconditioner thing is taking up all the room behind the glove box so i cant get the wire through.... any help? any idea where i could bring it in from?

Thanks....Josh

 

down the passenger side of the car through with the other wires

 

mines on the drivers side under the carpet to the back.

 

that's where i ran mine....
where did everyone ground their amp? i was having a hard time finding a good spot in the trunk.

 

im putting my amp under my passenger seat. when i had subs it was grounded under the rear seat. pull up the bottom part. Any one feel like taking pictures where they ran there wire. I dont want to run it through the wheel well, i saw in the step by step that that si what someone did..... twardozrally where exactly did you run them, where is that inside........sentinal did you run yours through the wheel well cause i cannot find a hole over there.....thanks everybody..

 

I didn't run mine that way, I went on the drivers side, there's a write up on amp wiring, search for it. But I went through the front drivers side fender (above the wheel well) and then into the cabin with the wires the go in/out of the door. From there, down along the sill and to the trunk. I ran my signal wires down the center of the car, to keep it away from any other 12v source that might be on either side of the car.

 

I just finished running 4 runs of 4AWG through my car.

I went through the firewall on where the clutch would normally be (i have an Auto) and ran the wire down the center area. I'll post pictures when I get a chance.

2 4AWG positive, 2 4AWG negative. Lots of wire.

Signal cable down the pass. side, spkr wire down the left. All power intersects signal at 90 degree angles.

I grounded my sub amp directly to the battery. The mids amp went from amp -> seat belt bolt -> battery. Instead of just going to the amp with the long run of 4 awg, I got a better ground when I stopped off at the seat belt bolt.

Works killer. Amps run a tad cooler now (not that they ran hot before). I can't really comment on the power issues because I added my cap at the same time.


Again, I'll post pics tonight

 

I ran my 4g wire through a hole I made just for it in the driver's side firewall. My grounding point is underneath the rear seat at the base of one of the seatback bolts.

 

mine was the same way as twardOZRally did his.

 

No matter what kind of car it is, if it's an automatic you have a easy spot, the clutch plate. That's where i went threw with my 0 AWG. If you have a manual you could drill just to the left or right of the clutch or just do that ugly thing by going threw the grommet n fender.

 

i ran my 0-guage the way it's run in the tutorial on this site. fit right through the grommet in the driver's door, too. it was a beotch to run, but i managed... in order to run it down the side panels i had to slightly notch out the insides of the plastic side panel pieces. but, all clipped back in perfectly!
