Squrlsquash Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I've tried looking around in a few places for some help here, but no luck-bought a rear strut bar with the battery relocate bit on it, had no tie downs in the front (figured id clean up the engine bay instead of finding some tie downs and a battery that would fit) anyways, ive made new wires for the ground, block to alt, to chassis, and now just have to run pos. and neg. cables through to the engine bay from the trunk i assume the only way to do this is run them through a grommet in the firewall and go through the car, just through the center console? and what about the rear seats? if anyone has experience with this sort of thing it would be greatly appreciatedhave no previous experience running wires through an interior thanksAaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankbob Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 You could run the wires under the panel on the passenger side door, thats what I did with all my sub/amp wires. Through the firewall > into behind radio > under glovebox tucked > down next to ecu > under panel > under rear seats > up into trunk area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squrlsquash Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 any specifics on running underneath the rear seats? thats the part im not sure about just under the carpet along the floor? or around the side found out I will only have enough welding cable to run the negative side -should i get any special extra insulated wire for the pos. line? dont like the idea of power lines under the carpet on metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuGG Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 You will only need about 3-4 ft of negative cable. You ground it at a good spot in trunk area. I would ground it in 2 place back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr-starion Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Its not an issue to run a battery cable in the car, wherever there was sharp edges i put a piece of rubber fuel line cut on one side around the sharp edges and then went for even fmore safety by wrapping the wire in sharp areas with a 3/4 hose slit on one side. Id show pics but my trunk is gutted at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19cturbo Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) I ran my wires through the car. i only ran a positive from front to back, for the negative it just grounded it at the back of the car. no need to run one from the front to the back. http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=114104&hl= Edited March 27, 2013 by 19cturbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19cturbo Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 yeah, they are kinda scatter brained, but there is a ton, a TON of great information there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 There must be... every time I start to look at one of those docs, my head explodes in frustration from trying to understand what is going on. All I know is there are pictures, misspellings, and insults in those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
