What's the best power wheelchair?

Whats the best way to power an amplifier in a 95 jeep grand cherokee laredo?

  • I have a 1995 jeep grand cherokee laredo, and im installing a subwoofer and amplifier. The popular spot for the amp seems to be under the rear seat, but i dont know where to draw power from. I feel sort of uncomfortable about running a live power line from the front of the car to the back seat. Is there anywhere i could draw power from that would be closer? If not, where should i route the cable?

  • Answer:

    The power wire for a subwoofer amp really needs to be connected to the battery. There's no voltage source inside the vehicle with enough current capacity for your needs. Don't worry about running a live power wire through the vehicle; it's perfectly safe as long as you use a correctly sized fuse at the battery. If I recall correctly, the easiest way to route the wire from the engine compartment into the cabin is a large rubber grommet, high on the firewall above the gas pedal. After that, just run the wire under the edge of the carpeting (keep it clear of areas where passengers' feet will be resting) back to the amp mounting location.

why do you feel uncomfortable? the cable is covered in plastic, and plus if you do it right youll have to route the power cable and remote wire on the left side of your car underneath the panels of the door frame where your carpet ends..and then youll route the rca cables on the right side... besides thats pretty much the only way you can draw power from...if you try drawing power from the cig lighter or whatever youll blow the fuse of the cig lighter as soon as u turn on your car since your amp would draw too much power from that small *** wire the cig lighter uses...

if you want it to even be usuable the only option will be to route a power cable typically i go under the carpeting and under the sill plates at the doors along the passenger side. but then most my vehicles the alt and battery are on the passenger side.

If your jeep has a cig lighter or a receptical for a cell phone charger, that would have constant 12 volts going to it.
