Default 0 gauge cable routing

Search High&Low sorry if this is a repeat!

Generally speaking what have you guys/gals done in regard to 0 gauge installation? I read in one thread 4 gauge barely fits through factory grommets.

I'd like to make the absolute smallest footprint I can in case I ever trade the car in I can have it as factory as possible without permanent holes/cut panels.

Worst case I'll settle with 4 gauge despite my audio demands. I'll be making a decision soon as the weather ain't getting any warmer!

It will fit........you need two people to get it through the dash.......one to push and one to pull........got mine through and routed it to the side wall then under the gas cap release lever then down the side of the floor all the way to the back......I used KnuKoncepts 0/1 which is soem of the largest out there and it fit fine.

yeah, i only used 4awg, but i know you can get 0... same route as Bzinn1..., 2 people would help a lot, but it's possible with one person.

i'll take lots of pics when i do my 0 gauge, probably mid/late October. I still need wiring harness', speaker baffles, and decide on what kind of box I'm going to use/build/buy

Nice part about going 0/1 is you never need to upgrade it as the stereo and amps and subs change.

Give KnuKoncepts a try on your wiring needs.......their stuff is awesome......

I have a kicker 0 gauge kit in my Celica, i just havn't had a nice day and some spare time to remove everything. I'm only scared the positive cable is too short since the Celica is a smaller car than the tc. Pricing looks legit for the Knu stuff if I need some though!
