Some OEM cars with the battery in the back (like the ones I have) have the OEM POWER wire attaced to the underside of the car, running power from the boot mount OEM battery to the engine bay.www.TheFirestarter.net

I know that I personally would NEVER do that on any car I own or any car I am doing the installation on. The whole point is power wire is intended to be ran inside the car so lets keep things the way they are suppose to be or lets just let everything go and have a class thats called Street but looks like extreme!!! Wasn't trying to attack you man, but I think you know as well as I do....that it's common practice and there is nothing unsafe about it if it's done the right way.Team KICKER Incriminator Audio Riot Squad Powermaster FloridaSPL.com 2007 IASCA Stock Pro 1 World Champion

To those that think it is not safe. I compete in SQ competitions where install is judged. I ran my power wire under my truck and up through a factory grommet (that I upgraded) under the rear seats. I have never received less than a perfect score for wiring related to the power wire in that vehicle. The Autophile GENESIS

The way Andy did it according to the pictures is the best way to do this. Another way is to use high temperature hydralic hose to run the power wire through.
