yo

im trying to run the power for an amp in my TR, but me and kaddis cant seem to get it through the firewall and into the engine bay. Where has everyone else with a 2nd gen run theirs

i need this info ASAP

cheers

Anyone?

I had the same problem, most people run it throgh with the accelerator cable apparantly. But i didnt wanna do this cause im lazy.

So i squeezed mine in between the crack of the drivers side front panel. Where it meets up with the window... That makes no sense at all so i will take a picture and show you.


My cable was only 8g so it squeezed in fine. If your using a thicker cable u might have a bit of trouble. But u most probably wont be though.

I took the pic quick cause im in my PJ's.. But you get the idea. Just feed it through the gap there and run it down the side of the door, then under the carpet all the way to your boot, or wherever...

Hope this helps ya man.

In my old TS, I ran my amp power cable through a grommet in the firewall, on the passenger side. I removed the glovebox to locate it, then fed it down the left hand side of the car.

This is the easiest way, but since the battery in on the drivers side, you should try and run it down that side....the shorter the better.

If you need further help, send me a PM.

Dude, I hope that cable is fused close to the battery because it seems extremely dodgy
to have a power cable that your door could possibly close on. :shock:

At least get a fire extinguisher!! :rant:

P.S. In your PJ's at 6.30 PM? What have you been up to? :D

Well the fuse is about 10cm from the battery.. But thats just how ive always done it.

The door isnt closing on the wire at all, theres no pressure on it what so ever. So theres no way its gonna get damaged or cut or anything. Its been there for over 2 years now, and has survived so far. And no problems what so ever, ive had tons of different audio set-ups over the years and i still have the same cable and same fuse! Never any problems :D

As for the PJ's.... i have no excuse... im just lazy :doubt:

I drilled a hole in the firewall and put my own grommet in, there's a 4AWG power cable and a huge bunch of other miscellanous cables for my other toys.
