    I have my amp and everything ready to go, I just need to find a hole in the fire wall or something to run the power wire through... but thats the thing, I cant find one? I have a 1999 Dodge Avenger, can anyone give me an idea?

    find a spot, drill a hole, use a grommet and run your wire through it. simple. Thats what i always do. make sure it won't be close to any moving objects and such.

    also make sure you dont go thru anything on the fire wall!! and that your not too close to the manifolds or anything else hot. or your a/c lines or.....you get the point.

    all cars are diff deadz. maybe your car has a grommet in the drivers side thats not used.

    in my truck i had one that wasnt being used. worked out fine. one day im gonna re re wire my truck with 0awg wire. and re re do all my speaker wire with nice thicker wire too. i said re twice on purpose. actually i should have said re do a re do of my first wiring job.

    would really like one whole length with no splices. im getting off topic here.

    just follow your original path to your amp. remove a seat or 2 to snake the wire thru if you have to.
