hey guys i have a 1998 dodge dakota and im putting in a amp and i need to run my power to the batt and i dont want to have to drill thru the firewall. is there anywhere i can run an 8awg wire thru an existing hole?

 

there should be a gromet by the pedals that you can feed the wire through.

 

8s easy,. theres a large bundle of wires from the fusebox that runs through a grommet, you should be able to just push the end of the wire into the grommet with the other wires

 

In the corner of the engine bay between the master cylinder and the driver's side hood hinge is a large rubber grommet that the main wire harness passes through. You can cut a small hole in the side of the grommet and run the wire through there. If it's hard to get it through the hole or you have trouble getting your hand in there to feed it through, cut off a straight piece of a wire coat hanger and use electical tape to tape it to the end of your wire. Then you can push the coat hanger thru the hole you cut and pull it through from inside the cab. It helps to grease the taped area with vaseline or a little wheel bearing grease to help get it through.

Be sure to fuse your power wire connection within 6 or 8 inches from the battery post to prevent a fire hazard if there ever is a short in the wire.

 

thank you very much. il have to try that tomorow if its not snowing to hard. i bought a kit from rockfor fosgate with the inline fuse so im all set. i just havent been able to find an easy way to run the cable.
