Exclamation Wiring Questions

I have a 99 F-150 extended cab. I am in the process of wiring in a hands free car kit, a CB, amplifier and possibly a scanner. I was just wondering if anyone has ran cables to the battery or to other power sources inside the cab. Is there a hole in the firewall I can go through?

Usually you can find a hole, an unused grommet of some sort, SOMEWHERE behind the dash near your feet. I know if you have an auto you should have the clutch point down there, not to mention any unbought accessories, then there are some extras that just happen to be there every now and then lol.

I run everything to the fuse box. My friend ran a single 12V wire to a distribution block under his dash and runs it all off of that, he's got a CB, scanner, radar detector, amp, and a few add on lights running off of it. No problems at all.
