AMP WIRING KIT help

[pitcrew207]

thanks

there are a couple. Just have to get under there to look.

Youd have a lot better luck passing thru the firewall on the drivers side though

I put mine through the driver side, through the same gromet where the rest of the engine wiring goes through. Easy enough, but kinda hard to get into position to be able to snake it through doing it yourself (especially for a fat guy like myself). What gauge are you gonna be running? Trying to get a 8 guage for a 200 watt amp is alot eaiser than a zero guage for a 1000 watt amp...

im think its either 8 or 10 gauge . i was just thinking on running it on passenger side due to the battery being on the passenger ... i want it to be pretty much hidden i dont like wires hahaha but i may possibly run it on drive if much easier

There's an unused grommet above the gas or clutch pedal I believe. I think above the gas.

above the fuse box is where 99% of them are. If the gromet ends up popping out on you, do what I did seeing as how I have a small armada of wires running through it. Take a dremel with a cutting bit and just bore a hole through it. That way you A: can see light ont he other side and it makes it easier to spot, B: makes it easier to run the wire as you don't have any friction C: if you ever run more wires in the future its definitly a lot less headaches.

The column shift ATX SLOs have the shifter cable that runs through the firewall. This hole is closed with a grommet on the SHOs. Perfect place for wires. Put a piece of 1" PVC through it to use as a conduit.

Antenna

I read a few days ago in a search about running it to the fender, then out by the power antenna into the car then back... Just a thought
