Easiest way to get power cable through VT firewall

[98VT_VIPER]

heya just been looking to see how to get power cable through the fire wall of my 98 VT. all other posts say through the clutch but mines a auto so no clutch. and also i cant seem to get the dash off to get at the head unit any tips on that?

People with autos use the clutch grommet. It's a black rubber solid grommet so pull it out, drill a hole in it, put it back and squeeze your wire through it.

and also i got the head unit out but only has the door speakers connected what colours are the 2 dash tweeters cables so i can find them and connect them up too

My car is an automatic as well, the hole is still their. Probably their for every car, makes sense to only manufature 1 type of chassis.

Take the plastic above the pedals out, the big 40cm odd piece, pull the carpet down a little bit and you will see the hole. If you can't then get a mate to shine a light onto the firewall, then 'look into the light' . Its big enough for 0gauge wiring so its pretty obvious.

You wont find the tweeter wiring in the stock stereo loom, they acutally "split" into two wires on either side of the dash, one goes to the door speaker and the other to the tweeters. If you connect your speaker outputs to the front speaker wires then the tweeters will work.

remove the plastic guard in the drivers side wheel arch..
there's a grommet for the side indicator.
you can run the cable through this grommet, and up near the side of the battery.

simply replace the cover, and it holds the cable in place.
