[QUOTE="ekincam, post: 3652183, member: 581428"] The reason I'm using 12 AWG is because that's what my amp kit came with and I figured I'd make both sides match so I bought another 20 ft for the other side. The run for the passenger side is about 12 ft and the driver side was about 17 ft since the amp is in the trunk on the passenger side. The wires are zip-tied down on the inside of the car to bundles of factory wiring, so there isn't much movement there, however, there is about 2 inches of unsecured wiring to that metal edge and then about 6 inches until it goes into rubber conduit. There really isn't any other way to run the speaker wires because there is nothing else to secure the speaker wire to in that area other than the factory wires and I'd rather not drill holes to use screw down zip ties because I don't even know how I'd get a drill into that area. If you've ever been under your dash with the brake pedal against the top of your head, the the clutch against the side of you face and your legs sticking out the driver door, you can understand what I'm working with. Like I said, the wire just touches the metal edge metal edge... Would something like rubber weatherstripping or silicone caulking work? [/QUOTE]
