do i make a hole or theres already one there? how would it look?

There is a hole already for factory wiring. Pop your hood and good look. Takes 5 seconds

sounds good...i was just curious about the area ...i know a lot of ford trucks have a big firewall grommet thats easy to run wires through...i thought i remembered on chevys being tricky and having to remove the body brace...ive cut holes through the big wire grommet drivers side to the sides of the factory wires and never had problems though i dont like doing that but i figured its only big enough for a single 4 ga

Im almost always up...Id need to know if its a dual 4 or dual 2 subwoofer ...If its a dual two wired to a 1 ohm load most likely its putting your amp into protect...I have several mono Alpine amps and all are only 2 ohm stable...so they would need a dual 4 voice coil with a single sub

That towel is shoved in the hole too so there's not a hole going into the cabin of the truck.

Why do you have a green rag in there?!

That's the same area I have my wiring going also. Not as many as him but get the idea.

Older Tahoes are better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

There's probably a better thing than a towel but meh..

Once you need multiple runs it's really easier to go along the frame rail and up through a grommet near your battery bank

^^Yup...like multiple grommets. Bad thing is that can get water/moisture and can stink up a vehicle pretty quick.

Anybody else notice wrong section for this discussion for this thread?
