Show us where your amplifier power wire enters your cab!!

I don't really want to drill any holes in my firewall for my 4 gauge power wire but the few holes that are there are full. If you have a solution, Pics please!!

Thanks,

Re: Show us where your amplifier power wire enters your cab!!

There is no solution with that gauge of wire that I can think of... I guess if you wanted to be creative and you have relocated the gas tank, you could use the hole from the fuel line to run the wire but you may have to replace the grommet so you have a tight fit. You'll also have to consider how to secure the wire under the cab.

I drilled a hole on the passengers side firewall and fitted the hole with a grommet and sealed it with a bit of RTF. I also ran some heat shrink over the wire where it enters the cab. It give it a cleaner look and will help protect the wire sine it has the mesh heat resistant covering over the wire. Just make sure you measure where the hole is going to be in the cab so you don't drill into the heater core or AC if it's equipped.

Here's a pic for you:

Wow!,thanks. I have actually considered the fuel line hole to be my best bet, but i have read posts warning about running the wires on the outside so I thought I would see if there were any other options available to me. Sounds like that is my best option at this point.
Thanks for the pic!
