Hi Guys!
I wanted to install an amp to my accord (98 v6 sedan) but i find a little problem... I cannot find a way to pass the power cable from the battery to the amp thru the interior of the car.
I have already wired all the cables from my stereo to the amplifier, but the only thing that stops me is passing the power cable to the amp.
Do you know the way to pass the cable without drilling the car?
I just don't wanna mess my car structure drilling :D

lol where is the amp? if u have it in the trunk then run the wire thru a hole in the firewall....its a pretty big hole so u dont have to drill.....when its inside the car then just run it under the driver side door sill...its pretty simple once you get in in the car.......i have a 99 v6 sedan and thats how i did it...

Pass the power wire thru the main harness wire that runs from the inside of the car to the engine bay just cut a hole big enough the the rubber grommet to pass it thru.

yes, it's in the trunk... do you mean "firewall" to the place between the engine and the cabin? If you mean the place that I think I found some but these are sealed with rubber. Is it safe if I remove one of these to pass the power cable?

Definitely use a rubber grommet to pass the wire through the firewall. Do not leave the wire where it could rub against the metal edge of the hole.

I have 0 gauge threw the main rubber plug where the harness wires run into the car, and works just fine. Good luck with the install.

I finally found the main rubber that you mentioned but my arms can't reach there lol, neither from inside of the car on the passenger side but I found another hole in the firewall removing the rubber from driver side.
Thank you guys!
PS: Now it's time to wake up my neighbors :D (just kidding)
