amp
 
What is the best way to hook up an amp power cable and run it through the cab. I have a reg cab 08. I need to run some cables from the deck to the rear. Any ideas would help. thanks

on the 08's ive found it easier in the long run (shorter cables, too) to run the wires through the passenger side of the fire wall, right behind the battery. Its a tight spot to get your hand into, but doable... trust me I just did it this week 3 times lol (an 04 FX4, 08 XLT and 05 XLT) had great luck. run the wires under the fuse panel and down the pass trim molding, cant go wrong!

on the 08 super, there is a whole with grommet on the passenger side fire wall. Would assume its there of the reg

f150mashin559 02-15-2009 11:39 AM

Cool, was just checking to make sure the 4ga I have to run this week will fit ok in sil. Don't want to have to pipe it underneath.

you wont. your best bet is to run it into the drivers side hole just cut a little slit in it and it should go right thru.
