best way to run 0guage wire in lt1?

whats the best way to run some 2 or 0 guage wire..........will the firewall grommet fit?

will this size wire fit under the trim panels...........im assuming most people run it underneath the door sill panels

just looking for experience before i go and try it myself.

btw, the cable im using has a somewhat smaller jacket than most car audio 2/0 guage...........its about 1/2 or 2/3 inch in diameter

Under the hood. Passenger side, close to the firewall. Remove two 10mm bolts holding in the PCM. Slide the PCM to the side and you'll see a rather large grommet. You can fit 1/0awg through there. Run it under the carpet. There's no way in hell your fitting 1/0awg under the door sills.

Yeap..and youll need to remove the seat belt bolt. I think its a t-45-50. Theres no way you can get away with running it over, and its a bitch to tuck under.

I ran my 1/0 power cable down the passenger side of the car. I have some pics on my web site of the cable run so you can see.

I didn't remove the seat belt anchor bolt, I tucked it under. I had trouble removing the cover for the bolt so I gave up rather than tear up the plastic.

It fits under the carpet and looks pretty good IMO.

Did you build that sub box yourself? If so, so you think you could share the plans? I want to do something similar, but make a fiberglass top, so the subs stick out of the box about 2" and tilt forward a little. Thanks
