hey guys, im about to wire up my system, but i am having trouble running the 4GA cable through the firewall.. On my TJ i put a slit in one of the rubber grommet things where the wiring loom goes in and ran it through there, but when i do the same to my TH i cant seem to get the cable in more than 30cm, then i cant find it behind the dash.. Where have you guys ran your power cables?. cheers.

On my TF I ran the cable up the right hand side of the engine bay (if standing at the front of the car) In through a grommet which led into under the plastic cover in the wheel well. I removed the plastic cover (then replaced it after finished) and fed the cable through another rubber grommet which led into under the glove box. From there I ran the cable down the right hand side of the car.

*Important note - the second grommet needs to be re sealed correctly and water tight as it is in the main gutter from the windscreen (Yes I did lern the hard way)

(Oh and I was running 0 gage at one stage through these points, and changed to 2 gage after a re install)

oh ok, cheers. i just managed to get hold of it then, a mate came over and noticed that the cable was getting caught behind this white plastic thing on the inside side of the firewall. we somehow got it out of there and now my car has doof doof :D .. pain in the arse though.. stupid firewalls.

i wish you told me that 3 months ago.. It took me that long to work it out.. I only pulled apart all my stereo install stuff and found the plug thing about a week ago, then drilled a big hole in it and fed the cable through.. No more leaks :D

I feel blonde.

hehe, since mine was an ex cop car, they had drilled a gaping big hole, good enuf to fit 4 guage cable thru, where the clutch pedal was supposed to go :D lucky me

problem is...i have no idea what i should do if i want to get 2 or 0 guage cable :confused:

i had the same problem with my TJ on Friday, under the glove box very high right is a rubber gromet that i could get a 4 & 8 guage wire through, lucky cause i had a cordless drill in my right hand ready to make my own...
