Power Wire For Amp Through Firewall

Post by MooreMoney »

Can anybody tell me where I can through the firewall so I can run the power wire for my amp. I have installed amps in two other cars but someone told me were to go through the firewall in those cars.

The antenna grommet on the pass. side is probably the easiest place to run wires-

I've also gone through the main wiring harness grommet on the driverside. It is located below the brake booster, but a bit of a challenge, and you have to punch a hole through it.

Yup. That's where I ran my '02 aguge wire. Have to do a little hunting for it from the engine side. I think it comes out below the A/C evap.

i work at a stereo shop, and if you go through the grommet for the antenna make damn sure you get it back in the hole good and seal it up, or otherwise you will have major water leakage all on the passenger side. trust me, you dont want that.

Thanks for the help. I installed everything this past weekend. I did make sure the grommet was back in like it is suppose to be. I also wrapped the antenna cable and amp wire with electrical tape and I put some sealant around the edge of the grommet just to be sure. I live in VA and it has rained here everyday and there is no sign of water coming in around the hole.
