cut a hole in the grommit and run ur power line through there.

I ran my lines under the door sills they pop off. run it in there and then under the carpet to the rear of the truck.

if its 0 gauge ya gotta drill a hole though

I found it easier to drill on the driver side than the passenger side. X, on the newer Blazers you have that option, all the connectors go through my firewall in a big plastic connector.

i did that too on my 97 with 0 ga. on my 92, i had to drill. SInce yours is a 96, pull the passenger side carpet back and you will see the rubber grommet that your antenna wire comes through. Just make sure that you zip tie your power wire away from the engine. had a customer in yesterday that had melted his power wire to the block. sucks for him, at he payed 4 bucks a foot for his 0 ga.

yeah...anything from 2 gauge down is really fun to hide. i've got my wiring going along side my door, under my door sill, under my carpet, and comes out under my backseats. it's really fun getting the door sills to pop back down in place when you've got a wire as big as 3 fingers sticking up.
