Running a power cable



  Clio 2007
Hey,

I need to get a power cable ran from my battery to power an amp in my boot in a Renault Clio 1.2 turbo dymanique 57 plate.

I am using 2 awg cable and I need to get a single feed to the boot. Any ideas how I can get it from the engine bay into the car itself?

Cheers
Danny

there is a a hole were some wires go through the firewall to the battery behind the dashboard, get a torch and look up behind it and your see it, best way would be to just push the wire through there.
 
the dude's got 2awg cable... thats guide's gonna be useless to him.

with such thick cable, you'll have to get the drill out and make a new hole in the bulkhead through to the engine bay. Drill the hole, buy a gromit to fit in it and feed your cable through this way.

I just had a look at my bonnet release cable and it looks like this:

Is there not a guide in the guides section. Pay the 10a and you will see all the other guides to!

Real men can get 0 guage through, no danger!! :rasp:


Real men don't use a drill, they use an angle grinder and homemade grommets.....;)
