Default Amp Wires

How do I run the wires to the amp for a sub in the back? I have it run up the door sill but how do you get it to the battery?

Also, what wiring harness do I need to put an aftermarket deck in my C5? I tried the one Best buy gave me but it will not switch the unit on. Help please. I am very frustrated.

Hm... power wire for the amp... can you say "drill a hole?" cause that's what you gots to do! Then seal it up with some RTV.

the adaptor don't work? Take it back... it should.

There is a rubber grommet behind the battery (battery must be removed to get to it) that you can use to run a power wire through.

You can fit 0-guage wire through it.

Ok I think I know what you are talking about. Where will that come out inside the car? Will it just show up above the fuse panel or will I need to unwrap some of the electrical tape on the bundles of wires down there? Anyone have pics of it coming through?
