    What is the best way to hook up a power wire on my amp on an 08 DC? Do you run in through the firewall, any suggestions?

    i put mine under my pass. seat and had to rotate my seats support bar to allow for clearance..... i ran my RCA's on my door sill and my amp power wire under the carpet up beneath the cup holders and over the steering column through the firewall to my battery.... like on the second or third page on this forum i have a bunch of pics... just look for my username under the post.... and i hear velcro is better than screws to keep your amp stay put
