What's the best way to get through the firewall in an 02 intrepid for my subs im putting in?

Answer 1

Usually there a rubber grommet that all the wires goes through on the fire wall.  

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grommet

It basically protects the wires from sharp metal edge.  But the grommet on the fire wall is little bit different in that it is sealed to prevent water from entering. You just make a hole in the rubber (near the center) then fish the new wire with a wire coat hanger.  Then seal it back up with hot glue gun.

But if the wire is really fat, you might have to drill a hole and install your own rubber grommet.

Good Luck...

Answer 2

your intrepid is kinda hard to work on cuz you cant see shiit for all the stuff in the rear of the engine bay.  

Basically, there will be no easy way out on this one so you got 2 choices.  

1) get a flash light and make a carefull inspection of the area where your brake petal and acellerator petals go thru the fire wall, check inside the car and the lower engine bay area to make sure there is an area of metal that you can drill into without damaging any cables or fuel lines.  Get a power drill and drill a hole clean, run your power wire thru the hole making sure you use loom tubing to insulate the wire where it contacts the metal around the hole.  Run wire.

2) pay a shop 35-45$ to make a hole and run your power wire from battery to the other side of the new hole
