Multiple runs through the firewall/Where?

[gibsonm21]

Sup,

I haven't been on the site in a while, but I wanted to see if anybody had any experience routing multiple(4) runs of 1/0ga of power wire through the firewall. I've got way too many modules and fuse boxes and wires to get a drill anywhere near my firewall to make a new hole. Anyways, I just wanted to hear any stories from anyone that has done it, before I cut my losses and run the wire under the truck in some conduit.

Also, If anybody has any lessons learned about running wire under the truck, I'd like to hear those too.

I mean there is a rubber grommet sorta near the brake pedal (up and to the left a little) that I fit a 1/0 through. 4 of them won't fit though.

Lol yea I was able to get two 1/0ga wires through that grommet. Assuming its not pouring down here, I'm gonna pick up some conduit and run the write under the truck.

There should be the same grommet on the other side... I haven't had to run wires over there, but you may want to try.

I personally ran mine under the truck becaue it was easier then ripping the interior apart. I ran my wire down teh passenger side with what i believe are the fuel lines and came up under the passenger seat. With 4 runs, that will be kinda tough because the exhaust is right near where you will want to pull the wires up.

street truck, or stereo competitor?

Why not have the battery dedicated for the system in the back?

Its my daily driver, but I also compete with it and since I'm running a lot of current, I wanted to do two positives and negatives from front to back to minimize voltage drop.

I ended up going under the truck down the driver side and over the gas tank. I brought the wires in right before the last hump that starts the cargo area because that's where my batteries are gonna sit. I'll post pics when I close out the truck tomorrow.

Well I can't post complete build pics due to the fact that my amp smoked as soon as I turned it on (By the way, where did all the Homo smiley characters come from? I couldn't even find the normal ones lol)

Anyways, here are some pics that I have.

And My Battery Box

Also moved my 360. It was kinda messy since I was in the middle of an amp install.

There is a spot in the rear pass side under the truck you could put a batt and one
Under hood driver side like I did mine. That way you can put the 60/40 seats back in.

I guess you're talking about the 3rd row. If so, I took them out because my box takes up 2/3 of my cargo area.
