Lets see..im guessing if I cut a hole in my preexisting hole where the wires run through I can just patch the hole up with some liquid electrical tape and yes I can run all my cathodes into one fuse/fuseholder.

amirite?

See you dont have to create a thread for everything. If you actually take the time to think you can come up with the answers yourself But i dont know how you cut a hole inside of a hole but of course u can run wires where wires are already ran come on man! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

A firewall grommet shouldn't protect it. You do need something there though, because the metal in the firewall will cut right through the insulation and touch the power. Which means that negative (the firewall) will be touching positive (your wire), which is where the picture of the burnt car comes into existence.

man..you just got me so confused now...

okay..this is for Getlikeme also..there are some wires running from my engine through my firewall and into my car..where the wires are going through the firewall there is a little black thing that goes over the wires whenever it goes through the firewall like a patch or something..I was going to cut a small slit into that and run the wires through there and then patch up the hole I made with liquild electrical tape.

A firewall grommet in a slit? A circular object can not be forced into a wedge and be expected to stay like that.

So if I use a firewall grommet wouldnt I have to drill a hole in my firewall?

yes. I've drilled a striaght hole with a drill bit for my alarm wires with no grommets nothing and never had any problems. As long as theres not any tention on the wire you will be fine.

You know, come to think of it, I have no idea. I guess I just had a brainfart?

Yeah I was going to cut a slit(a very small hole) into my preexisting grommet where the wires come through into the dash of the car...BUT if I buy another I would have to drill a hole as big as the grommet in my firewall wouldnt I?.

BTW, how much of a PITA is an alarm install? On a scale from one to ten.
