I am preparing to install an Xtant X1001 in my SC300. It requires 1/0 gauge wiring. Right now I have 4 gauge running from the batt. to a dist. block then 4 gauge to my two amps. The Xtant will be replacing my sub mono amp. I know that the 1/0 gauge is too big to run on the same route as the 4 gauge. Can anyone, who currently has 1/0 gauge running in their car, give me some tips/pointers/hints as to how/where to run this wire? Thanks in advance.

 

where did you run your power wire to get it through the firewall? I am trying to find a good spot for 4 gauge. thanks !

There is a rubber grommet seal type thing that is deep under the dash on the driver's side. If you take out the wheel well lining, you can see it. You just have to feel around under dash to find it. Using this as the pass through is pretty easy and very clean. Remember to use some shrink wrap or similar to make sure the grommet is sealed when you're done.

On a side note to everyone, is it safe to say that running the 0/1 guage down the driver's side frame rail is about my only option?

 

Problem solved. After consulting some professionals, we came to the conclusion that my 4 gauge would be fine for my particular set-up.
