extending power wire

Right now, I have my power wire running along through my door jamb, which is not what I want. I want it to go through the firewall...but the current wire isn't long enough, so I would need to splice it with another wire to make it long enough...

How would I go about splicing this? Would I have to splice it with another fuse, or is there something else that I can use?

Re: extending power wire

my wal-mart amp kit came with a splitter to divide your single power cable into 2 for a dual amp setup. I use that to "extend" the power wire from the battery to the amp in my blazer.

Re: extending power wire

On ebay you can get a power distribution block for 10 bucks.

Re: extending power wire

Dist. block or another fuse. Id think you would need more wire to run it through the door jam, than straight through the firewall. I think the piece that sickcallaway was talking about was the dist block.

Don't ever look at cars as just imports or domestics. Just because a car is made in a certain country doesn't mean that it is anything like another car from that country. An example of this is Mitsubishi reliability, just because they are Japanese doesn't mean that they are as reliable as a Honda or Toyota.
