I am trying to install my stereo system in my 2nd gen and i can't find a good place to feed wire through the firewall. There is a hole up top on the passenger side but i can't see where it goes to. I thinking about drilling a hole at the bottom of the wall because there should be no wiring there that could be cut. I was just wondering what you guys might have done. Any tips or advice would be greatly helpful.
thanks. |
I've seen it run through where the throttle cable goes through on the driver side but if the wire is too big, thats not really a good place. I've run it down through another hole behind a grommet higher up on the driver side too but its hard to line it up with the hole on the inside if I remember correct.

on the passenger side of the firewall you can run it thru where the ECU wires go thru, its a big set of wires going thru the firewall thru a big rubber grommet, take a screwdriver or something blunt, push the grommet on top and insert a snake ( a coat hanger will work if you dont have a snake ), it will end up behind the glove box I believe at that point. Connect your power wire to the hanger/snake, and pull it thru. You should probably take the glove box out so you can see whats going on.

I ran my 7/8" temperature sender thru there, there is no reason you cant run your wire thru there, dont drill any holes.
|
well i now know where to run the wires for my guages :bigthumg:
|
also if you dont have ac, there are holes with rubber plugs

Yeah,the ac or throttle cable holes are your best bet unless your running a 4 guage or bigger power cable.Prolly easier just to drill a hole and stuf a grommet on it.
|
You could always run it through where the speedo cable goes through, I've seen it done where you just cut a slit in the rubber gromlet and feed the wire through that way, probably not the best way, but it's quick easy and it works
