Default Access Thru the Bulk head..

Guys, i want to wire an Amateur Radio direct to the Battery and i cant seem to find a way thru the bulk head for access.. Also, there are options for a 12v socket in the boot.. my can doesn't have this but will the wiring be in the boot anyway?? as this would also do for me, although it may have limited amps..

Thanks for any help....

do a search on "stereo" or "subwoofer"

There are a lot of posts out there about where to get through the firewall to wire things up.

never fit a direct line to a radio from the battery always come from a switched fuse (live only when ignition on) flat battery is the result of direct

Now THAT is pricless advice.. lol.. thanks.. i think im going to go look and see for myself if i can get to these terminals.. only thing is i need a pos and a neg.. maybe i could get away with just earthing the neg?? i'll ask a sparks!! hehe..

Thanks again..

One other thing is it needs around 25amps.. is this going to be too much for the terminals??

Also the lead im using to power the Radio is fused..
