Power wire for sub

Hi guys

ive just fitted a system to my supra and before i attempt the following i thought id run it by here

i need to get my power wire from the battery through the bulk head....how on earth do i do it???

ive looked and cant see an obvious way throught but im guessing it would come through the passenger side near the ecu?

please advise!

thanks in advance [OOPS][/OOPS]

Black gromit in the wall on the passinger side

If no one else has taken i pic i will in the morning.

I had a big build in mine old Supra, think mine came through the same way as you are suggesting, defo passenger side.

yeppo definately as above, just look harder

It's a pain getting the wires past the loom but it's the best way to go

Personally, I'd avoid feeding any extra wires through near the loom, unless you're VERY careful about routing the new cable as not to introduce any moisture around the loom/ecu.

All helpful there guys ill put me glasses on this time and look again!!!! so theres no need to take the offside wheel arch out to do this then no?

Cheers

I ran my power cable out the hole beside the battery, I took the passenger side wheel arch off, tucked it up inside a nice little plastic casing that's already there, through a yellow grommet that heads into the passenger side footwell, then under the carpet in the sill.

I cut the gromit and passed it in under the carpet and ran it to the back

Do you need pictures?

if you dont mind buddy that wouls be a real help!

Righty, soon as the mrs is done cutting hair, i will go get some.

I did the same, gromet above and to the left of the ecu (very hard to see from the engine bay though, so I went from inside the car first then found where it came out by removing the wing).

I had to take the wing and arch off as I was using 0 gauge cable which is stupidly thick, but if you are using 4 or 8 gauge you shouldn't have a prob

Seems i was telling a massive lie!

The gromit i used it on the drivers side! i did wonder why people where taking off wheel archs.

Then ran it under the carpet up and under the rear seats and into the back.

Simples

I know my engine bay looks crap. But im not doing anything to it until the engine is out

Auto

DOH

Job done told you it would be easy;)

i did mine by going....

thro the wing, just by the carbon canister,

took the wheel arch liner out to see the wire,

then thro the yellow gromet which comes out by the ECU
