I'm trying to run a power wire for the amp, I just cant find where to drill? Anyone who has ran a power wire, where did you run it and if you have any pictures would help.

you don't need to drill anywhere...

 

just use an existing rubber grommet/plug. the main wiring harness (the one that connects the power distribution box to the interior fuse panel) passes through the firewall. it has a large rubber grommet that is much larger than the wire bundle itself, which leaves plenty of room to poke a hole through (to run your power wire).

 

also, if your fusion has an automatic transmission then there may be a rubber/plastic plug in the firewall to fill a hole that would have been used for the clutch on a manual transmission model. this would probably be the easiest and safest option (if applicable).

 

good luck :)

All depends on what gauge wire you're running.

Since my amp is in the trunk, I ran mine down with the fuel lines under the car, past the gas tank, and up to a little hole that goes straight into the trunk (It's a strange hole, no grommet or anything). It's a 4 gauge wire so it's nice and thick. I used some hose clamps to keep it tight against the fuel lines:

It looks quite professional. Use some jack stands to get your car up to make it easier.

I think he was just kidding. Surely no one would be crazy enough to run an amps main power wire outside and attach it to the fuel lines. That would be a mistake they'd only make once :hysterical:

How about using a fuse slot ? most cars have unused spots. I do not know if those spots are wired from the power (battery) line though. Any thoughts?
