Default RE: running amp wiring

LOL this is a hell of a question.
when i did mine it took me forever to find a place to run it threw then i finally drilled a hole and made sure i seald it real good.

but basically i did have to drill it. and even then it was no fun trying to find a place. but i had mine all the way down almost to the point of where the floor is almost flat close to the frame. and then you cna get it out of the way of moving parts under the car and also protect it .

the only other place i have seen it run or even thought it might be run threw the first wall would be ont he drivers side there is a main harness goign threw the fire wall. but even then it was not easy to get to.

Try going from the inside of the car out. I have always had good luck like that. The gromet that holds the main harness is usually the easiest. Feed a bunch of power wire through and go fishing. Good luck.
