How/where to run my 2 runs of 0ga power wire in my Xterra?

[Mike Waters 10+ year member]

OK so I will be running 2 Synergy 3500's strapped In my Xterra and want two runs of 0Ga power wire coming from the front to the back batteries. How and where should I run the wires? They probably are going to go under the carpet very well so are there any other suggestions?

When I did it I went under the car. Ran through PVC pipe. It was 4 runs total.

Same thing as above... only I used garden hose to protect the wire instead of PVC, found a hidden spot without obstructions and used a hole saw to make holes for these... NEW SCOSCHE CAR / TRUCK 0 GAUGE AWG POWER AMP WIRE FIREWALL GROMMET BUSHING 0G ... I zip tied the wire to the frame with heavy zip ties... this was for 2 runs 0 guage.

I have a 07 frontier, currently running one run of 0ga for sub and one 4ga for mids on driver side. I ran it through some white plastic pieces that hold the door panel.

West1 ... is it possible to post pictures of the way you have it run in your 07 Frontier?.. I just can't visualize it.

Not a lot of space for me to take picture of wire coming from engine but follow the stock wires. My 07 frontier already has the gap/hole. Its a rubber piece with plenty of space, maybe add 5-6 more 0ga wires through the stock hole.

2nd pic is where I ran the 0ga from first pic. The hardest part is running rcas and 0ga from driver seat to rear seat. Passing stuff under the driver seat belt is a PITA! very small space but if I did it, you can. A wire coat hanger will help guide wires, I did not use the hanger to pull.

Oh my bad, I just know cars have 4 wheels lolol. Not a mechanic haha.

The white plastic I was referring to is in 2nd pic.

OK... most cars have that plastic there to protect wiring and hold the carpet in place... I knew it was something benign like the "description"... LOL!
