Running wire from battery on Bravo...

[killahboo]

I was wondering if anyone has any advice on where or how to feed a power wire from the battery on a 07 Bravo into the boot. I have tried looking for potential routes but can not find anything, removed the glove box/blue and me box etc but still can't see a way though. Has anyone managed to do this without drilling a hole.

Why are you running a wire directly to the battery? If you need a fairly high ampage rating, you could link it to your ciggy lighter power. At least it would be fused.

^^^^ I presume that he means for an amplifier where at the very least he will be drawing a MAX of 35a. You need to run a power cable directly from the battery to the rear as he is doing with a fuse inline within 27" of the battery.
Im not sure on cable routs in your car though sorry.

Thanks for the replies, yes it's for an amp have spent all morning trying to check for routes but still looks like there is no way through. Found some grommets on the inside up behind the blue andme box but no idea where they go. Really don't want to drill a hole

pull out the grommets, open the bonnet and look through from the inside of car for light, theres a chance there will be insulation stopping light, but tape cable to a chopstick and have a poke if not

Thanks I took another look and poked around took the grommets out and fished a coat hanger through. It looked like the grommets were in the insulation or something else soft but behind that is all solid metal

I managed to get it all fitted today Unfortunately had to drill a small hole but its not noticeable Put a fancy switch in under the steering wheel in the coin tray to turn on/off the sub as needed as its too loud for the children. Will try post some pics tomorrow when I have tidied everything up...

glad to hear, and stealthy wiring is good wiring!

Sorry I have removed the sub now as I needed the boot space so do not have any pics. If you remove one of the side lights with a flat screwdriver you will see a thin wall of metal which is what I went through. If you do drill there make sure you drill through with the front door closed as you will scratch the door otherwise
