drill firewall - quickest and easiest way. just start off with the smallest drill bit you've got. work out where it went through. if it's in a good enough spot, drill it bigger!! this is how we did mine, haven't got a rubber gromet or anything there either. really should get round to fixing some of my dodge work......

Some pretty good gear... 6x amps, 3x 6.5" component speaker packs with active crossovers, 25 farad cap, xbox, tv, 350w dual GPO inverter and 4x 12" woofers, plus lots of ricer neons :P so a fair bit of current draw. Hence the need for abit of 0 guage cabling and 3 batteries and when shes pumpin its still drops down to run 8.7v gotta work on that :P

i dont have 4 guage i have 6 but couldnt use the cable hole as i have a manuel. i manages to squeez it through where the bonnet relese goes through after much trouble. but soon i will be running some 0 guage through and have intensions to make a hole with a nice grommet round it. to make a long story short ide get a good kit that comes with a grommet or find one the right size and make a hole in a nice out of the way place. thats my 2 cents any how


just boot mount ya battery rob ya lazy prick :P nothin better that like a 10/15cm run of 0/1 or 0/2 gauge :)

Ancient thread but I'm trying to put in 4 gauge at the moment. Is this the grommet that is right up next to where the bonnet release cable comes through the fire wall? Which side did you cut to push the cable through from the engine bay side or the cabin side? Anyone got any pics?

Cheers

0 Gauge is used more then you think, that s**t is heavy though.

How's your earths? Hope they are 0g as well, or there isn't much point of using 0g to start with.
