Ok to run power wire through box?

[Jackson00 10+ year member]

Im having alittle trouble with my amp rack/trim plate im doing 2 18's and a sundown 3000. I want to mount the amp on the front of the box cause thats the only place I can mount it and I was wondering if I can just have some power wire and ground wire in my box and connect them via ring terminal to some bolts them do the same thing with ring terminals on the outside of the box to relay the power through my box and to my battery? I want NO wire showing thats why im asking?

just run it straight through, only use polts if you just dont have enough length

make sure you insulate the bolts as well, elec tape isnt gonna be enough

Ok thanks guys!

iamamp3pimp- If I run straight through would I just throw alittle silicone around the hole to get it extra air tight? and when you say insulate the bolts do you mean silicone?
