[QUOTE="jdc753, post: 5111010, member: 572078"] don't understand what would be soo bad about this, as long as you do it right. What is gonna happen? IF its done right then I think you got bigger things to worry about such as your brake lines, fuel lines, and other electrical from the factory that is all run down there. Mine may be a bit different than a car but I have 2 runs of 1/0 run along the from from the engine bay to the back of my cab. Both are wrapped in split loom from up in the cab and the split loom 100% covered in 3m Super 33+ electrical tape (an entire roll per 18' run.) These runs are zip tied up to the frame over crossmembers and basically run with brake and fuel lines. If you tuck the wires up properly to the frame there will be no issues and honestly I would rather have big wire there than run under carpet or door sills where they might get chaffed from people getting in and out or dragging their feet along the floor. This is before I ran the 1/0 ground and re-wrapped the power wire to seal it better. But it has been on the truck like this for well over a year now and about to head into its second new england road salt winter. [IMG]http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m213/bareorn/Stereo-computer%20instal/DSC01109.jpg[/IMG] This is 1/0 kicker wire and took about 15' of 1" split loom and wrapped in 3m Super 33+ electrical tape. Its certainly not the best but it works good. [/QUOTE]
