My 90 fullsize was the same way. I just ran a wire through one of the exsisting bunches of wires. Just use a piece of coat hanger and shove it through. Tire your wire and pull it through. But if your trying to use like a 4 gauge wire then yea you gotta drill

You've got to be careful not to nick wires with the coat hanger, but that would work.

Don't be afraid to use the search function here man.. The Audio/Visual section is riddled with posts on this exact topic.
