Amp wire routing
 
While I am waiting for my windshield installer to grace me with his presence I thought I would work on my stereo installation. I have relocated the battery to the frame rail on the passenger side. My speaker box will be where the cab fuel tank was. Since they recommend connecting the amp to a fused connection directly to the battery I am trying to figure out the best route. Looking for suggestions on how to route the wiring. Thanks

I looked at using the cab corner but the cab brace is in the way.

Would it work to use the hole and grommet where the original fuel line passed through the cab floor?

I am going to mount an amp behind the seat, I too am relocating the tank to under the bed. This was where I was going to route my power cable, but I was thinking of installing a second battery in the factory location opposite of the one already there.

The old fuel line hole does sound like a good idea. But I may have filled in the hole. Based on the picture it looks like the hole is on the passenger side about 8 inches in from the frame rail. Does that sound about right?

You can see it in this replacement floor panel. It's pretty close to the center of the cab, but it is slightly toward the passenger side.

Well I looked and I did fill it in. So I'm thinking of drilling a larger hole were the screwdriver is at. Down side is I will also need to enlarge the hole in the rear cab support rail. But it will get me within 18" of the battery so the wire runs will be short.
