the + bat cable has to go through your fire wall (driver side steering coloum or somthing)ur gonna have to drill a hole and put in a rubber insert...but paint over the drilled hole so it dont rust

problem with that as my friend found out it shorted out some of the wires...i guess it depends on the wires and car

rubber for sure, or else the metal will scrap the cables off.... paint it for the oxide, and there on the firewall theres a circle, you can drill on that circle safely
