I have some 03 cobra seats coming, i know i will need power for them. I had 93 oem lx seats come out with no power, i had my carpet out also and there is no factory power harness.

what is my best way for running power for the new cobra seats? any write ups? didnt find anything on search.

best way would get a length of 10AWG wire from the battery to the seat. Use a circuit breaker or inlne fuse. you can pop the gromet from the drivers side firewall, slip the wire through the gromet and reinstall the gromet. then you will have constant 12v there that will not overload anywire.

I would use at least a 25. Not sure what the draw would be. You can run the (+) from the battery to the seat then split it to however many feeds you will need. but make sure you protect the circuit.
