dombek2k7 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Okay, i hooked up my rca converter... ran my wires... but!!! went to do the Power wire... where the hell can i run it through?? I personally do not want to put a hole in my fire wall... so question is.. where did you run your power wire through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaStaMooN Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I think the best one to use is located in the drivers side access panel. Gotta pull the wheel and fender liner (makes it alot easier anyway). Cant miss it. Leaves it in a good position to pull along the floor towards the trunk. Jon - vBGarage Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dombek2k7 Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 okay... ill put that into thought... anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theride Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 ok not sure which car you have but on my 2009 2.5SE auto. There is a huge grommet right beside the brake booster.( if thats the brake booster) its that big round thing on the driver side. the grommet just pops out and there is a hole so big that you could prolly fit three 1 gauge wire through it.

Seth1784 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 drivers side, like theride said up near the brake pedal and junk there's a grommet up there with nothing in it. i had to put a hole in mine but it was still a blank filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltr450racer690 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 i have 4 runs of 1/0 power wire i ran im my car, 2009 se. and there a garment under the rear of the trunk and i ran the wire under the car, but thats just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theride Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 drivers side, like theride said up near the brake pedal and junk there's a grommet up there with nothing in it. i had to put a hole in mine but it was still a blank filler. Yep. I popped it out and put a hole in it. I have 2 8 gauge wire running through it. To be honest, its one of the easiest power wire run i have ever done.

dombek2k7 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 i have an 05lgt i looked everywhere... no idea where to run the wire.. specially with having such a huge dash so its hard to even think about where it could come out if i found a spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcazi Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I took my fender, bumper and wheel off to run throught the side of the car. There is a small grommet running wires through the fender, and it went very well considering the Oawg wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth1784 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 seriously making things way too complicated... look above the pedals on the drivers side you can't miss the blank grommet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 i have an 05lgt i looked everywhere... no idea where to run the wire.. ^ I too have an 05 and can't find that 'huge' grommet next to the master cylinder.. drivers side, like theride said up near the brake pedal and junk there's a grommet up there with nothing in it. i had to put a hole in mine but it was still a blank filler. ^ Please, please, please could you provide a picture? I just can't find that grommet. And I want to finish installing my system soo bad. please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnAWD Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 If nothing else, run it through the drivers side wheel well grommet as described in this boost gauge install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 If nothing else, run it through the drivers side wheel well grommet as described in this boost gauge install. I saw that one but I am afraid that my 1/0 gauge wires won't fit in there (Big system pending installation ). The wires are big like your thumbs..kinna tight in that grommet I'd think. So please please picture of that big magic hidden grommet on the driver side.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennnGeee Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 seriously making things way too complicated... look above the pedals on the drivers side you can't miss the blank grommet. Like he said impossible to miss big black grommet... pops out right next to the brake booster how convenient right? If your feeling real hand tuck it under your carpet and run it to the left side of your car just did it today actually if you own a flat head screw driver you can do it.

BennnGeee Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 If anything if it is too small you can just take a razor blade and make the little slit in it a bit bigger thats all I did send me your email in a pm and i will send you a picture of the grommet and my wire going through if you want to hard to do this on a phone ha.

xt2005bonbon Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 crap. That's what I feared: I found this post: If you have an automatic, there should be a triangular(?) rubber grommet where the clutch master cylinder WOULD be if it was manual. It should be near the brake master cylinder if you're looking under the hood. If it's a 5spd car, some run it through the passenger side of the firewall where the wires to the ECU go. That should be a big bundle of wires going into an even bigger rubber grommet. This comes from this thread. So looks like no big grommet on driver side for me So I guess you guys who used it all have automatic trans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth1784 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 odd... my friends 05 was the 5 speed manual... i am an auto though yea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
executor485 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Under the carpet where the clutch is, there's a nice spot to run the wire through. You need to be inside the car on the drivers side, with the carpet pulled back. Easy to spot, have fun If I pass you on the right, I'm flipping you off.

xt2005bonbon Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 odd... my friends 05 was the 5 speed manual... i am an auto though yea. ^huh. Still, that' d be nice if you provide a pic of yours to be 200% sure. Under the carpet where the clutch is, there's a nice spot to run the wire through. You need to be inside the car on the drivers side, with the carpet pulled back. Easy to spot, have fun ^ really? I'll check that one out. You know guys, I think we should have a sticky JUST for grommets! This way, we won't create 10000 threads/posts just to ask that question over and over..

Marcazi Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I also think that sedans have a spot enough for a 0awg wire where it is being described, (right where my rear washer fluid hose goes on my wagon) doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
