    I'm getting ready to install subs and a mono amp so I'm trying to get as much info as i can before i start this project. I trying to figure out what is the best way to run the amps power wire from the battery to the trunk where the amp is. Is there a hole in the firewall that is big enough to fit 4g wire?

    If you pull back the passengerside carpet. There's the wiring grommet down there. It pops out by the ps rack on the passenger side.

    That's where I put my 4ga through.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I punctured it undersized. Ran my wire puller (old shifter cable) in from under the car and pulled the cable out from the interior. It's so tight..it's self sealing.

    I ran mine in the same spot. It sealed itself... or you could hippy rig it and put it over your fender/through door. ive seen that and just laughed
