f150harley Report post Posted July 2, 2008 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FusionFanatic Report post Posted July 11, 2008 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 :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dotbody Report post Posted July 31, 2008 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.

fordforsteve Report post Posted August 1, 2008 I would run it through the inside of the car rather than by the fuel lines and gas tank. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury Milan Report post Posted August 1, 2008 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: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
altoro Report post Posted July 28, 2010 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. 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
