Best way to run the power wire
Hey i'm tryin to find the best way to run some power wires from the batt. all the way to the trunk for my amp. If ne1 can give me more then one way n also tell me how to do it. That'll be awesome
. Thanks
If you have a manual this wont work. But if you have an auto, you can drill through the clutch plate thingy. Look behind ur brakes to the left and you will see a circular padded thingy u can remove. Pull it out and it will reveal the clutchplate. Drill at an upward slant toward the top until the bit clears the firewall. Run the wire from inside the car into the engine bay and u should see the wire come out somewhere to the right of the throttle body (behind the intake tubing).
i went from the battery, under the fender, through the rubber plug that leads into the car through the frame, then went under the side carpet frame that leads to under the back seat, then to the trunk. ( very general description and required no drilling ) And I used 4 gauge wire- that sh-its thick!

I did the same as heaven and cruisen lancer. I didnt bother taking the tire off though, I is a little tricky but it can be done.
The way I did was by running my 4ga wire into the fender from where it comes out by the battery and then I took a spare wire and ran it through the wire harness opening from the inside of the car,, I then used a hanger to find both ends in the fender and pulled them out by the door jam. I duct taped them together and pulled the extra cable back out the wire harness opening inside the car, which brought the 4ga cable along with it! Come to think of it, maybe taking the wheel off would have been easier, either way it is completely possible!
Good Luck!

If u do that, make sure the power wire is long enough. mine was the perfect length when i went on the driver side, so mine wouldn,t have worked on the passenger side. And for running it accross the engine, maybe go near the fender then against the firewall close under the front windshield. ( hope u get what i'm saying )
YES!! the fuse should be a few inches from the battery. i wouldnt go from the passenger side...instead run your rca's and remote through the passenger side. driver's side is the best way for power, especialy since thats what side the battery is on.
Yea, i get wut ur sayin heavenmist. Cuz dats da path i was thinkin about doing @ first. N zeeshan i'll prob do wut ur sayin specialy since i already ran the RCA's n da remote on my passenger side. When i run it through da fender do i really need to take da tire off. Or is it possible to leave it on?
