Hey guys, i know that some of you guys out there have aftermarket audio systems and i was wondering where you guys ran the power cable for the amp...i've pulled up the passenger side carpet by the ecu area (usually a good place to find somewhere) and have been looking for a few minutes and didn't really find any stock grommets through which i could run a power cable...

where have you guys ran your power wire? any help is appreciated. i'd prefer not to drill a hole and install a grommet if i didn't need to.

peace

I never really checked the passenger side. The battery is on the driver's side and since I have my amp under the driver's seat, I decided tp keep it on the D-side. I did have to drill a hole though and it's not as difficult as some make it out to be.

Do what works best for your layout but don't be afraid of drilling if it comes to that. Also, if you don't have a grommet or can't find one the right size, you can also use silicone sealant. That's what I used and it works great. Just make sure you get it all around the cable to seal it up tight.
