#1: how to pass the power wire through the firewall Author: tiagocunhaprt, Posted: Wed Jan 20, 2016 2:06 pm ---- well, like i said, I'm facing a trouble, I've bought a brand new amplifier, and i can't pass the power wire that feeds the amp through the firewall, my car is a peugeot 206 1.4 hdi van.
I asked for help to a friend who has one, but his car hasn't got the same engine as mine, so, the problem is that i don't have space to move, I've searched on Google, and YouTube, but i didn't find anything, can someone please show me a how to, from my car?
thanks

Have you checked the ICE Howto subforum on this site? Several threads on the issue (front part of a van should AFAIK be the same as any other 206)

no it doesn't, my friends 206, has a grommet behind the battery, mine has a small box with 2 screws, that box prevents me from getting to that grommet, is there any way to pass the wire?

Ah, learn new stuff everyday... Any idea as to what the box is? If it could be removed a and the cable run, could it then be put back or would the cable be in the way?
How thick a wire are you going to run? If not overly thick then one of the threads in the ICE Howtos route it in the gap between the A-pillar and wing, down to the normally unused grommet near where the wiring harness goes between the door and pillar and into the cabin.

Hmmm, if you were to pass it out from inside the cabin, any chance for the wire to bend and pass up/down/sideways behind the box until you could get at it?

don't think so, it's too much tight, can't reach behind the box

#9: Re: how to pass the power wire through the firewall Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Thu Jan 21, 2016 10:20 am ---- Think that box is the alarm unit ... you might be able to unscrew it, move it to the side and find a grommet behind as the cables have to pass through somewhere!
#10: Re: how to pass the power wire through the firewall Author: tiagocunhaprt, Posted: Thu Jan 21, 2016 1:39 pm ---- alright mates, i found out a very simple place, it's a grommet, with 3 squares, it's right in the center of firewall, that grommet gives you access to the back of the radio, to someone who has the same doubt, here's the solution.
thanks for the help
