I am installing my sound system this weekend and I am running my power wire from the battery are there any existing firewall gromets or do I Have to Drill a hole in the fire wall to run the wire.
It is a 1997 5spd

 

I drilled a hole, way underneath so its not even noticable when looking. I think you can run the power cable along with other wires that are passing through the firewall, not sure tho

 

search!

To sum up what's in the search...

some people decide to drill a hole down by the fenderwell I believe. There is a factory hole you can use if you pop out the grommet, but 4ga or larger and I don't think you can re-use the grommet (split mine trying to fit 4ga through it, but put a bit of silicone around the egde of the hole).

So you don't have to drill.

 

I ran mine under the car, zip-tying it to the undercarriage to the back seat, there there is a perfect grommet, then to the trunk.

You can't see it from under the car, because I ran it along the conduit that the brake lines run in.

Works great.

Locate the fuel filter

Go up about two or three inches

On the left is a rubber grommet

Take out the grommet and you are good for a 2 AWG wire

Good Luck

I went through the rubber piece in the driver side front wheel well. Take the plastic lining out of the fender and you should see it. Then go look way up under the pedals and you should see the wire when it comes through. It takes a while to get it but its worth not drilling a hole through the firewall.

 

yes, agreed. this is where i ran my 0/1gauge for battery relocation, and ran it in the factory plastic holder along the side of the inside of the car under the carpet, the relocation is practically factory then.
