Amp install, where to run power

Is there a hole under the dash to run the power, If there is I cannot find it. Or is there another way I'm suppose to run this. Never installed in an Eclipse, all the other cars had a hole already there,

thanks

Hmmm. I believe my power cable is running through the steering column boot with my vac line for the boost gauge. Just make sure it isn't going to get tangled up and you'll be good. Someone else pipe up if there is a better spot to run this wire.

u can drill a hole and get a rubber gromet if u cant find a hole

steering column sounds better than drilling, guess i'll try that

also , i need a good place to ground the head unit, this car sucks for install lol

Ok, wtf, did you just drill through the boot or something, I can't even get the boot off, wtf, I am confused

Take a knife and make a X through it. then push the wire through and it will come out under the washer fluid resivoir.

The steering column boot, is that really safe?

sorry for all the q's I just want to make sure I am doing this right

thanks

Yes it is fine. Make the cut at the corner

Just make a little incision. Then tape the power wire to a coathanger and stick it through so you can pull it the rest of the way past the firewall ;).

thanks for the help guys, gonna get her done tomorrow....

I work at Circuit City's road shop, the installers drill a hole throught the firewall, towerds the left side so that you can just hide it under the left side of the carpet. just make sure you get some rubber to surround the gap between the wire and hole!
