i just got my new 97 camaro, and im looking for the easiet way to run my power wire to the trunk. wanting to put under carpet
any help please
thanks

 

when i did it in my old 94 camaro i drilled a hole through the firewall up underneath the dashboard... then ran it under the carpeting under the pedals on the driver side... then take the screws out of the plastic molding piece at the bottom of the door. go all the way back underneath that. go behind the plastic where the rear speaker is and out through the picece of plastic where the 5th speaker is. if i remember correctly thats how i did it (it was a while ago and i dont have that car anymore). it was a pain in the butt... but the wire is completly hidden once u do it...

hope that helps

 

Easiest way I found to do it on my 95 was:
Theres a hole plugged by a rubber cap under the carpet of the passenger seat that is accessible via the passenger underside of the car, requires no drilling, just make sure you keep the wire away from the exhaust, might take a small amount of effort to get it up there, only took me about 5 minutes to get it into the car...but you have to take the plastic paneling off the inside part of the door that holds the carpet in place, run it under it--not hard to do, and completely concealed.

 

thanks guys that helps alot.. im gonna do it after school tomorrow and ill let you know how it goes

 

just in my opinion i wouldnt reccomend running the wire uder the car too much... i dont think that exposing wire to the elements is a good idea... but its your call.. if ur using higher end thick shelled wire that woudl be better

 

not to mention if something hit that wire gonna be a great fire

 

i just ended up running it through part of the door jam.. ya i know its not exactly the best but it is the easiest, we didnt feel like ****in with drilling holes anywhere.. besides it was like 30 and windy.. lol, so we were freezing our asses off

 

I can't wait till that insulation and gives and you have a HUGE spark with a short lol

 

Oh you better listen to them! cause there right running the pwr wire under carpet bad idea. Run the wire down under the door runners, the factory harness runs there, run it thru some shrink or heat tubing, and watch for pinch points, let it have slack, and take your time!! ive seen a few car becues. oh and dont run your RCA,S anywhere near the pwr wire (engine noise) now remember take your time, so u have a car in the morning..fuse it too a good one right off the batt, might want to install a battery disconnect switch as well.

 

i have my power and my rem running with it together and i dont get any thing. what i did i drilled a hole in the first hole in the frame and in the belly pan and it comes up right where the passenger feet is and ran it under the trim that goes under the door
