Firewall problems

Hey guys, I know everywhere to hook up my amp now, and can easily route the wires throughout the car,

but there still is one problem. In my accord, i really do not know how to get the 8 guage power wire

through the firewall. It is wrapped really tight. Do you think i should pop a hole in the sealing of the other

wires in the hole? If not, then what?

hey man...Drill a hole...if you try popping the sealing as you put it...you risk causing damage to the wires, since you have to use something sharp to pop through that stuff........severe a wire, and than you ahve to go through, find the wire, splice it...it's a hassle....Just find a place under the dash, that's clear on both sides, and drill a hole, pop a grommet in and run your wire...that's the best way I've found to do it...and I did an accord a few days ago..

.than again...I'm a nut...I drill holes to run my power wire all the time, rather drill a new hole, instead of dealing with an existing one..than you gotta deal with pushing the wire through, fighting, looking for it on the otherside, blah blah blah...now granted a lot of installers, and places dont' like that...but it makes it easier for me...than again...when I put in an alarm...I tear out the drviers side seat...more room...but I've always done stuff this way...

Well yeah, that's true...forgot it's 8 ga.....that's true..., but I'd still drill...but I like todrill holes in things....it's fun!!!!  Plus...I love it when I gotta do an install and only need 8 ga....but for some reason..everyone that comes into the shop...wants their power to be 4 ga or 2 ga........That's even on a small MTX amp...the one that's like 35W X 2....

I am still trying to figure out, why they go big, and don't listen to me when I say, they're wasting money.......

C'mon Guys...Bigger is not always better!!  even the ladies will tell you that..there's a point in which it's too big...and I'm sorry but 4Ga for a 70W amp..is too big...

But yeah, you can do it that way to....cut an "x", lube it up, and stick it in
