Default running amp power wire

I appologize if this has already been covered.. Its tough to navigate the site on my phone.. But im running my power wire for my amp to my battery and i cant find a route to run the wire through the dash or somewhere where i wont have to drill a hole or anything. Any one know somewhere where i could sneak it through?

pull the carpet back on the passenger side. theres a hole there. I forget exact location. Its big enough to fit 0 gauge through if you really try. make sure you tie it up good once in the engine bay as its semi-close to exhaust manifold. Not close enough to melt it though.

alot of people will say the driver side, but thats a bunch of unneeded wire wasted going across the entire bay over to the battery.

here is a rule that works for EVERY vehicle - follow the stock wiring. It has to pass through the firewall somewhere.

+1 on the passenger grommet.

I believe someone said it has the antenna going through it already?

Well I have 4awg just going along the grommet, not plugged in. It's been fine so far.

Sorry to bump an old thread but this helped me a crapload today. I ran my power wire through the grommet and had plenty leftover. Very easy!

Yep that's where I ran mine. It's a little tricky finding that hole in the engine bay but nothing a little fish tape and a buddy can't fix.
