New member Username: PunkstevePost Number: 1 Registered: Jun-04 | I'm having a problem finding a hole in the firewall of my Jeep Wrangler (1999) to wire an amplifier's power to my battery. If anyone know's of a hole that i might not be seeing, please let me know  I'm mentally going through the installation process before I order $500 of sound equiptment to make sure I can actually do this! :D |

Or maybe because my jeep was preowned, but i had to drill the whole bigger for 4 gauge anyhow, if you can't find it just drill one for yourself... |

There were no holes we could find useable in the firewall, so we ended up just drilling a hole near the kick plate, and running the power over top of the wheel well and under to the kick plate area. Worked out great. |

(still havnt ordered my stuff yet) I was looking around in the jeep for a way to wire the amp power to the battery, looked where daniel said, but still having no luck. i really don't want to drill a hole for this :/ |

New member Username: PunkstevePost Number: 4 Registered: Jun-04 | Thanks for all the input :D Well, I've decided to just upgrade my speakers only for now. The amp feels like its just gona cost too much at the moment. I'm gona get some Infinity Kappa 5 1/4s and 4x6s, and base blockers for the 4x6s. I think i should notice a big difference with just upgrading the speakers (hopefully) Unless someone talks me into getting an amp for them.. |
