Running amp power wire

[Hardwarz]

man, I didnt think of that. I ran 8 ga thru there.
umm yeah, if you drill thru that general area near the grommet, the cool part is that it dump right onto the floor in the passesger seat area. then run it thru the kick panel and your good to go.

Sweet, that's the exact info that I needed.

I would recommend drilling from within the cab, it will insure you get the exact placement that you are looking for.

I will have to take a look at mine, I found an existing grommet in my firewall that fits 0 guage.

this is a pics where i drilled for my power wire and a water tight electical
connector i got at home depot $3.00.i had to get under the yukon
so you can see where it is. it`s on the driver side a little below

the steering wheel boot. oh and a pic of the dash

I have a factory CD player where you have that pocket. Is that a factory pocket?

Where you drilled the wire, where did it come out at in the interior? By the gas pedal?

yeah thats the factory CD delete pocket.
I got mine from the dealership, and it was 17.99$. it slides right in perfectly. and is quite deep. I like it.

 

[qlc1964]

nah it comes under the steering wheel boot on the fire wall. i will do a pick

of it. i just have to take the carpet up out the way.

and the map pocket i got it out of the junk yard free i put it my
pants. as you can see it's very useful.

I was not able to take a picture, but I did look at where it was run. I too ran it under the radiator reserve tank through an existing grommet.

You could have saved yourself a few bux.. and had it today or tomm. if you would have went to the Parts dept. at your local dealership.. they should have them in Stock..

I got mine from the dealership - i belive it was about the same price treepete got his for

You just need to run an isolator and wire them up together

JK posted a thread for the nbs trucks but the same principle applies

I rewired all the power leads and grounds (big3) and never had any issue running 1400wrms in my limited. 1/0 for all the underhood stuff and 2awg to all three amps and the lights wouldn't dim even when I had it turned up like an idiot. I also noticed an increase in mileage (20mi/tank) after all the new wiring underhood. Found a writeup for the obs trucks too

You won't need the extra battery unless you're over 1500w constant load, otherwise I think the big 3 and a yellowtop will do just fine.
