Hello,
Any one who installed a 09 Chevy T blazer who went under the hood( i was told that the power source under the middle seat was not good at all- Convienant but not good) where did you find a grommet to poke through? I would rather not drill, but if i have to i will.The FW is pretty tough stuff..any spots you can recomend?
Thanks.

Normally you can find space in the rubber grommets in the firewall above the emergency brake. There is a large electrical
connector with the cables going through the grommet. Normally you can find space around the emergency cable or
something in that area. Look around with a flashlight.

You won't get through that factory grommet that has all the wiring running through it on the drivers side.... easily.
I usually blow a 3/4" or 1" hole through the firewall on the drivers side, I don't remember the exact location, but it is near the factory grommet.

I disagree with both prior comments. i ran a remote mount CDM1550 with the chassic under my rear seat wired into the power center there with no problems whatsoever with TX or RX. i also mounted the antenna for a second radio on my fender as well as ran wiring for front warning lights and wigwags with little to no trouble as well. the factory grommet is thicker than a regular grommet, but if you use a wire punch or coat hanger to feed the wires though it is not overly dificult.

Hello,
thanks for the reply... I looked at and it and the solution seemed to be much more than i was capable to dealing with.. I just went to the Power center.. I was warned that this might not be a good idea.. but once again (2nd install).This time i have not had any problems..
I was pretty much comitted already i had the Headliner down and was well on my way to drilling the roof.
