2000 Silverado firewall

[silveradoman52]

I was wondering if anyone know how to get through the firewall of a 2000 Silverado.  I am trying to wire my amp and feel skeptical about drilling a hole. I dont wanna hit anything.  Is there any holes already there that i can feed the wire through.  My old truck had a rubber gasket type plug that i used to get through but i dont see one here.

  thanks for the help

Here's a pic of the rubber boot on the new body style trucks.  You can snake a wire through there pretty easily.

 

The pics a bit dark, but hopefully you can make it ou.  There's a large black wire loom underneath the red ones.  That goes into the large rubber gromit.  If you have difficulty getting wires through it you can drill out a piece of rubber, or cut it w/ a razor blade.

Another option would be to hook it up to your MBEC.  It's the black box under the dash on the drivers side.  There's many different power connections there.  Just find one that has power when the truck is on and you'd be set.  No wires running to the battery too.

i wouldnt wire it to the MBEC, i doubt you can run 0-4GA wire from it, and if you want to get your amp(s) the most power thats not a great idea. you could run the wire outside of the cab to the point where the amp is and drill a hole there and run it into the cab. so you wouldnt have to  fight your carpet that much. as long as you have an inline fuel you should be safe. and you could even put it in some PVC conduit. i have 4GA wire running along the frame to the back of my cab, and its fine.
