    Subwoofer Power Wire?

    Okay, a buddy of mine and I are trying to wire my car and are having a hard time finding a place to run a 4 gauge power cable through the firewall. Any help or ideas?

    I ran mine thru a grommet hidden in the passenger side fender well. There was a hole for wiring almost under the fuse box, next to the factory intake tube. I split loomed it for protection until it was in the cab. Followed the factory wiring into the cab and ran it under the panels along the door jams, then into the trunk. I figured if Honda put their wires there why not.

    I think there was a huge hole on the firewall by the foot pedals, I ran all kinds of shit through that hole. It's larger than an inch in diameter, so should easily accommodate a little power wire like that.

    i think thats where the cable linkage for the manual transmission goes through. That where I run mine through.
