Ok I did a search with no luck...I have a 1996 Blazer and Im trying to run my power wire into the vehcle to the trunk area to power my amp!....How did you guys get your power wire in??? I can't seem to find a good location at all!! Im also running 0g but either way I should be able to find a way in. Let me know how you guys did it, and if you can get or find pics that would be awsome!!!

Thanks

i ran my wire thru the fender till the front passenger door then cut a hole in the rubber where the wires runs from the vehicle to the inside of the door and then i ran the wire under the carpet away from the rest of the wires so u dont get engine noise make sure to make the hole smaller then the wire so its tight and u dont get water insede of it i recomend doin it on the bottom

i know a few people that has done it like that, i just not sure if i like it being exposed under the truck, it probably wouls be fine though, my wire is ran through aa whole in the firewall in my passenger floorboard, its under the A/C stuff under the hood, then just ran it under the carpet to the back

on passenger floor, at top edge of carpet, there is a large grommet that your antenna wire runs through.

I saw that, but didnt look big enough or room...hmm

I like the idea of running underneath, i live in canada and i dont know if 1/0g wire would be good in the snowy elements? I mean its heavy duty wire.

Well it looks big enough, but I mean how do you find the other side of the Grommet?...It has like a short depth to it...any tips of how to get it fed through there?

push it through from the inside about a foot or so and then go around to the engine and reach down b/w the ac and pass. side exhaust manifold and feel around for it... also, in the pass side wheel well, there is a flap that you can lift up and you should be able to see the wire looking through the flap

Mines basically the same way as jagblazers only drilled up through to that trap door in the xtremes by the rear seats. then run up through my panel to the back.
