Easy to run sub/amp?

Passengers side , bottom right of firewall , top right of carpet . Pull that plug piece that holds carpet down out . Through the hole you get , run power cord through that . It ends up going to the inner fender and right up to the battery .
Thats if 79 and 83 are close enough to the way the carpets held down .

I used a hole saw right about there to make a large hole to pull the cables for my inverters.

I ran 1/0 cable through mine with no problems. You should only need 4ga for what you are running. run it thriough a factory grommet.
If you drill a hole anywhere, be sure to use some kind of grommet.
The RCAs are easy to run. They will fit below the sill plate on either side. Just be sure to run the power and RCAs on opposite sides of the truck.

You can get the grommet at Lowes.
I drilled a hole right above where the steering shaft runs through the firewall and ran the power through there then just sealed it up w/ some silicone.
It'll pop out right below the fuse box...run it under the carpet to the amp...ground the amp...run the rca's from the head unit to the amp...speaker wire from the amp to the subs and have fun!

I know this thread is kinda old, but I just saw it and wanted to give another idea to you..... I ran my 0/2Guage power cable under the truck, along the frame rail tied in with the factory tail light wires to just under where my amp was going, and poked it up throu a hole I drilled/grommeted to the amp. I ran the RCAs under the carpet to the amp. Just another idea for you to work with. Oh, I used Monster Cable 0/2 Ga cable, and NEVER had a issue withwater, cold or rocks/mud bothering it as I tied it high up on the inside of the [ of the frame.
