I need to know where there is a spot to run power cables for my amp in my o3 pathfinder.. lots of pics and vids help lol


Thanks in advance for ur input

you have 3 options,

1 the route i went and not really suggested is running straight down and along the frame and back up under the spare through a plastic grommet in that tool tray in the cargo space.

2 a route some have done but is a little messy, HOLE SAWWWWWWWWWW your way through the fire wall

3, through the fire wall on the driver side, you will see a plate, it can be accessed from inside the vehicle under the footwell. It holds the ecu or something like that and you can let it hang wont really get in the way. Warning, this hole is extremely small and you will want to a, drill the plate or reseal it someway. otherwise, dont pressure wash your engine.... youll soak the inside of your car. Personal experience. my underglow wires run through there.

ok kool i was thinkin the last way but idk if i can get 0gauge wire throught there

if you go with 0 Gauge you most likely will be able to get it through the hole in the fire wall. Just give me a minute ill take a picture for you

Ok,

Engine Bay

Engine Bay

From inside you can see my rats nest, take note of the grey frame

you see the 2 bolts, you take the nuts off that and pull, that holds the bracket and frees up the hole, you can see all the wires i have running in and out of there.

This is in the engine bay? Like where u said to take the bolts off?

from my engine bay, pictures 1 and 2. You will see the big hole and 2 small ones. The 2 small holes is where bolts will run through. 10MM bolts. Just take a look i dont reember if its from engine bay or inside, i never bothered with resealing it, whenever i wash the engine i just plug with plastic bag.

Here are some pics, with the plate removed:





Inside:


(this has the transmission computer installed, but not secured)





I chose to drill a 1/2" hole through the clutch plate and put a rubber grommet where the hole is to prevent wires from being damaged. I don't have any pictures with the plate installed but can get some eventually if you really need them, but I'm sure all these pics that have been posted should show a clear idea. The bolts are 12mm for the clutch plate itself, and 12mm for the screw and two nuts that hold the TCM in the cabin.

ran my wires under the car, still no problems... have it sitting above the frame and secured into place.

How did u get the wire back in

[MCNPathfinder]

That's exactly where I ran my 4 gauge through. You should be able to fit 0 through there no problem. I plan on running 2 runs of 0 through there eventually I think. Or at least 2 runs of 4 here shortly.

[Wkz1gg0a]

I had test fit 0gauge fits tight but possible. I have 4 gauge right now i actually had 2 sets of 4 gauge running in that hole

[Innovazn]

How did u get the wire back in

through the cargo tray underneath the carpet, theres 2 black plastic things, i drilled one and ran it through.

[edogg27]

im just trying to get it through withought any drilling if thats possible

[Innovazn]

im just trying to get it through withought any drilling if thats possible

[edogg27]

Yea im gonna do the firewall thx for all ur help

[Innovazn]

just make sure you do your cable/wire management as you go along with your install or else itll be a major head ache later
