i'm about to finish my subwoofer and i need to wire it to the battery. where is the best place to run 4awg wire from the battery to the trunk? forgive me if this was asked and solved elsewhere, but i couldn't find it.

I ran mine through an existing grommet in the firewall, down underneath the carpet along the driver side seat, along the side all the way back to the trunk.

did you have to drill any holes? could you post a picture (if you have one), and did you have to remove anything from the engine bay to access it?

I was able to get it through the firewall fairly easily. I dont remember if i used a coat hanger or what...I definitely did not drill any holes. No pics of that, sorry. The grommet is behind the driver side valve cover (give or take) and will drop the wire right behind the ECU, if I remember correctly. These are the types of tasks that allow you to be creative and developed problem solving skills, so the best advice i can honestly give you is to figure it out. If you are stille having trouble later i can take a pic when i fet home, but see if you can make it work first
