Wiring my AMP kit

[Tek18 10+ year member]

Hey,

just got my knukonceptz wire and i have my amp kit with it,

whats the most effective way to get the battery from the battery to the back of my car?

and also my battery is on the drivers side of the car very front of the car lol //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

also,

I won't be getting my amp for about 3 weeks, for now, i planned to wire my amp kit + wire to the back of my car and just hold it down with some tape so it doesn't hit anything metal in the car, just so its ready for when i get my amp, good idea?

Not a bad idea, its always good idea to give yourself more time by doing the little stuff first...but I would say just defuse the wire from the battery (dont put the fuse in it) that way it wont have 12v in the trunk and you wont have to worry about it touching metal. You dont want it to have power when you hook it into the amp anyway....fuse should go in last. Secondly as far as the best way to get it to the trunk depends on what kind of vehicle it is, but its pretty common to say trough the firewall, under the rocker panels, under the backseat, below the folding seat, into the trunk

Its a 2005 Toyota Highlander, i just don't see any effective holes in the car that go to the trunk

Normally the rear seat is bolted at the bottom. You can see them with the bottom cushion removed. The wire goes through where the bottom of the seat meets the trunk.

its just 1 large car capsole i don't have a so called " Trunk " as you are thinking.

I am just curious how to get the battery from under the hood, the wire, through into the car somehow WITHOUT drilling a hole

You mean through the firewall? Look for a rubber grommet that factory wires are running through. Follow the wires from your underhood fuse box. They will be going into the car somewhere. Otherwise type it in google and see. I bet someone has posted about it somewhere.

it could also be a viable option to go through the wheel well, generally there is a large grommet in there that can be used.

That is on a tundra forum but talks about the highlander. It does mention the wheel well as mentioned about but says there should be one on the driver side that's easy to get to.
