    a clothes hanger wire is my favorite tool for running amp wire, i ran new wire in this kids 00' grand prix and made a slit through the rubber groumet for the power wire so there wasnt a huge hole in the fire wall

    that's what i did. it's like a 2 piece grommet. the innermost will pop out and then it just takes a screwdriver like everyone else said. it'll pop right through. that's how i did it.

    did the same through the rubber...although i had to hella tape the wire to it...almost lost it but it came thru...like everyone said be sure to stick a nice sized screwdriver in there to open it up...

    the problem is they don't want you adding any electronic gizmo, they want you to buy their top of the line junk, never aftermarket

    So if I am doing this right, I am having my wire actually running underneath the car for quite a bit am I right? I live in MN, and there is the dreaded salt and chloride on the roads, and I am little worried about my wire rotting away. Any suggestions other then running it through the pass door?
