amp power

it says to run the power cable away from the ignition, so i was going to put it on the passenger side but there is a lot of stuff in the way, is it ok to run it on the driver side?

thanks

and is there a hole already somewhere for me to put it threw or so i have to drill one?(89 firebird)

Re: amp power

i would run it on the passenger side, the batteries there. If you run it on the apssenger side theres a rubber gromet for the antenna that runs into the fender, thats what i used. Just run your RCA's on the opposite side of the power

Re: amp power

there is a guy who competes in IASCA SQ and he has all his cables bundled together (did it to show there wasn't a difference if you use good cables)
