Pics of runs in cars

[BlurredVision 10+ year member]

Hey guy. I'm soon gonna run multiple runs of 0 gauge thru my car and was looking for pics to get some ideals. I have a honda accord and will probably do 2 or 3 runs to the back. Cars are a little trickier than trucks, so show me what you got.

Don't have pics right now but I went through the rubber gromut on the passenger side that comes out under the glove box.

So basically. You will most likely want to make a dedicated hole in your firewall. Run them side by side under your carpet, up and under the seats and then your left with two options. 1. Go through the trunk hole, or cut a hole in the trunk far left or far right wall and go that way.

Ive actually seen people run the power wires underneath of the car instead of through it. Just keep it away from any dangerous areas and cover as much as possible up with wire covers

Gahh. ive never trusted that.

What would one use to secure it under the car? i wouldnt exactly want to use zip ties.

OP I have a question how are you connecting the said cables to the battery? I'm building and I'm curious to know what top post terminals you're gonna run to be able to connect multiple 0 wires.

Thanks.

Ive never done it but yes ive seen them use hundreds of zip ties. As long as you only drive the car on the road i would think it would be fine

I've seen it done. Zip ties keep the cable/wiring together....so it keeps it neater and doesn't interfere with any moving mechanical parts underneath. I would find a way to protect the wiring too underneath the care. You think all that crap oil, salt, rust etc underneath a car is bad, just wait until the wiring goes thru the same thing. Something like PVC pipe to protect the wiring more of the road debris.

I'd never run. Wire under my truck for my daily driver. To many things on the road can fly up and hit the wire and puncture the jacket.

You mean outside of the car? Very dangerous as unless well protected wires running outside the car can be subject to road damage! My installer guy originally wanted to run some of the wires for my system on the outside of my vehicle which I nixed that idea right in the bud!

I did it in the Scion. Where else was I going to run 4 runs of 1/0.

That's what fuses are for. It was fine for years.

Yes that is what fuses are for.

I ran 1/0 under my truck and had it like that for years.
