Default wow! soo.. running 0awg wire SUCKS!!!

trying to get all the plastic trim peices up from the left side of the car to add kicker 0 awg wire with 4700 strands of wiring is a freaking nightmare!! i had to run it under the switches for the trunk and gas release. under the carpet and into the trunk... i had to take out: the seat, all the left sides trim panels, and the part of the back of the seat that stays when you fold the seats down! sorry no pics.. wasnt thinking about it at the time.. and IM NEVER DOING IT AGAIN!! except when i get my rca's and have to run them down the right side of the car ([:'(]

Eh you took the "fun" route, most people when using 0 awg will run it under the car and then thru a grommet in the trunk (most will use the metal spiral electrial tubing and connectors to protect the wire)....... This being said when I ran my 4 awg I took out the rear seats, rear paneling, sil cover and I even had to move my ecu to have the wire hide under it (there is a grommet on the passengerside that had been used for a previous install and it simplified the wiring). The crazy part was stripping both sides down to re-run the rca's and phone line (for bass ****) down the driver side and going as far as running them thru the factory body wire holders that are under the driver side sil cover...

man im all about running the wires under the car
just tie them up to the car away from all moving and hot parts it will work just fine beats the hell outta TRYING to hide the wires under the carpet.LMFAO
i got 2 runs of it... one power and one ground.... i came up thru the bottom of the back seat near the back passenger ABS wire grommet... about 2-3inches away... its a good spot where few wires and no gas tank sit
