power cable thru firewall?[850/1994] posted by B Browne on

im installing a new system in my 94 850 turbo wagon, but i will probably sell it within the next 6 months and i want to take the system back out then. the new receiver is being professionally installed, but i am doing the rest. my question is:
How do i get the power cable for my amp through the firewall to reach the batterey?!?
I have looked for holes but don't see any...and cutting holes seems dicey esp. since i am selling soon. help? thanx...

I wouldn't expect your '94 to be different from my '93 but Volvo designed in a conduit from the drivers side footwell by the hood release to below the brake master cylinder for just that reason. Its a tube about 1/2 in. OD that has a plug with 4 little nubs on it. The idea is that you pull out the plug, cut the end off one of the nubs, feed the wire through the plug and out the other end of the conduit, then thru the next plug and replace it to seal up the conduit. Pretty slick.
