Default Amp Power Wire

Hey guys,
I'm running my power wires from my amps in the trunk. I can get them into the cabin easily, but getting them around the seats and up to the firewall unseen is proving to be quite tricky... any suggestions? How have other people done it? Also, once I get them to the firewall, where should I go through it? Preferrebly an already existing hole, but if I have to drill, where should I put the new hole? Thanks.

run them alond the sides of the car where the door stills are (little plastic trim pieces on the floor that cover where the carpet ends and the door closes). pop these off, they're just held on by clips. then, pull the carpet up & run them from there. the passenger side is the best for power wires, and run your RCA's on the driver's side to avoid alternator squeal. The only places I could find to run wires through ( I relocated my Batt. to the trunk, so I have 2 big ass 0-gague wires running through here) is in the passenger side of the firewall, just above where the ECU mounting cage sits, and under the a/c box under the dash. I had to drill 2 seperate holes, it is very tight, and right next to a hure wiring harness.

You can get a 4 gauge through the existing firewall hole right behind/below the fusebox under your hood. You will have to cut a hole in the rubber plug, but you will have to feed a fish down from the hood and play with it for a little bit, but it will go. once the fish is down tape up the powerwire and pull it up through the middle of the rest of the wires coming through the firewall. You will have to remove the fuse box to see this firewall. after running it below the sills as previously stated then you can run it under the carpet edge which can pulled easily, then you can feed it under the rear seat to conseal it.
