easiest power run?
 

ok i got the subwoofer. 10 inch unter seat version. what is the best route to take, to get power from the battery to under the seat? :confused: i know this is an easy answer from the pelican porsche guru's. thanks again.

Do you have power seats?

If independent, you can tap off the power seats if you have it.

If inline switch with the stereo, just tap off of the power lead and route under the carpets, that is what I did for my JVC sub under seat.

the install manual says to run 8 awg to the battery and install a 30 amp fuse. not sure the amps on the passenger seat motor.

25 amps

Well, then you can run a wire thru the under side of the dash area. At night, place a light in the truck area and check under the dash, you may see light coming thru, that will be your access, fish it thru and to your battery put an inline 8 amp fuse.

Also, on my 3.2 there is an access whole on the passenger side, looks like a vent port but it is perfect to run wires thru it.

this is standing in front of the car, driver's side. follow the blue 4g wire and you will see the grommet i used to run straight from the battery to the cabin.

be certain to add that fuse within 12" of the battery. something like this for $5 would work great ( Xscorpion XFHT48G Top Loading Gold Maxi Inline Fuse Holder ) and fuses for under $7 ( Stinger SPF8630 (SPF 8630) 30 Amp Maxi Fuses (3-Pack) ).

Couldn't he tap off the seat + lead and use an inline 8 amp fuse?

i wouldn't do it. it's not rocket science to add an 8g line.

yeah, hate to have a seat fire when rocking out to Rush! Them subs take a lot of power

LOL, forgot it was an 8 gauge wire, yeap thru the fire wall it is :D plus it will be a cleaner direct power source for the sound o files.

thanks guys.
i'll try the flashlight trick first. :)
