Doing system install, need input

[SteveCZ28]

doing an install adding an amp and subs to my factory headunit. got a pac moduel for my signal to rcas for the amp. im running a slash series jl audio 1000/1 it requires 0 gauge wire. my question is what is the best way to get this huge wire through the firewall? is there a certain grommet guys go thru? or do you drill your own hole and put in a grommet?? any help or input would be appreciated

Run it underneath the vehicle and then come out inside the rear cargo side panel. Here's how I did it in my 07, but same could go for your NBS

i ran my 0 gauge through the drivers side under the plastic panels with no issue

 

[SteveCZ28]

What plastic panels are you referring to?

i belive the door sills? not sure on the name let me find a pic on google

Are you talking the door sills inside the truck? I was planning on running mine that way but my question was how to get the wire through the firewall

 

[josueh95]

yess thats how i did it and ran it through the fire wall..you will see over the pedals there is a chunck of wires runnig through there with a gasket what i did was put it to the side a bit to make enough room to pass the wire..believe me its not easy but it is possible

ok, ill try to get my wire through that grommet for the wiring above the pedals then. thanks

I ran mine through the large firewall grommet as well, but the proper way to do it (and the way I'll be redoing mine when I run my second string of 0 gauge) is the way NathanJax posted above.
