Running Power Wire through the Passenger Side


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey guys, I need to run my power wire from my battery on my NNBS 2008 Sierra Crew Cab. I know you can run it under the brake booster, but I dont think I have enough wire from my previous installs to run across the engine into the master brake booster. I currently have it ran through my door jam and it has worked perfectly for the past 4 or so years, but I know its a lazy way to go and its a newbie way of running it and Im no newbie to car audio as I have been in it for over 10 years.

 

I used the search option and didnt come up with much of anything. Does anyone have any experience running your power wire? This has really been bothering me, even though its not getting pinched. Plus if I can run the wire through the passenger firewall somewhere, I can gain a little bit more length in wire. I am also going to be running another run of 1/0awg wire since I am running 4 amps. Two 1800wrms amps @ 1 ohm, one 4 channel amp and a Phoenix Gold Tantrum 500.2 I am about to install so it looks like I need to run another run of power wire. Haven't decided if I am going to run Cadence 1/0awg wire on top of my Kicker 1/0 wire or a run of 4 gauge wire that I have from Earmark. I have the Big 3, XS D3400 battery that has some serious power for a Group 34 battery and a Mechman 270a alternator

 

Thanks

I too wanted my power wire on the right side without running wire across the truck. What I did was pull the right front fender liner out and right next to the evap core drain is a flat spot of firewall with nothing on the other side(in cab). I took a unbit and carefully drilled a hole to the left fo the drain and used a gromet made by stinger then passed my 0g wire through there. If you drill in the right spot the black under cover below the glove box will cover the wire. I then ran my wire down the center of the truck under the carpet to behind the rear seats. Under the hood the only part of the wire you see is the battery connection. The stinger piece is a water tight pass through and makes for a very clean install. Lot of work but the final result is worth it to me.
