Amp installation

What's up ladies and gents?

I have search the site for the last couple of weeks and have not had any luck finding an answer for my question. It is:

What is the best way to route the power wire (4ga) for my amp?

I have taken a look at the fire wall and haven't found any good places to go through. Checking inside the car, there is so many components and wires on the passenger side fire wall that I can't see pass them to the wall itself to get a good idea of where to feed the wire. Any help would be great.

Also, if you are local to the San Diego area I would even like to meet up and see how I could take care of this. Thanks in advance for the info.

Wherever it fits. You could always drill your own hole.

If you do drill your own hole make sure to use a rubber grommet around the wire. You can get them at a auto parts store. If you don't your Z might be a fire ball.

If its any help, I mounted my Amplifier in the back seat along with the Capacitor. And stuck the wires behind the seat and ran them through the passanger side.

Thank for the suggestions. I went ahead and drilled the hole. Got the grommet, this was the first thing I got before cutting so I knew how big to make the hole.

I do have another issue, how the heck do I run the new speaker wire from the cabin to the passenger door. I have not had any luck finding my way to the exisiting hole?

On the upside, deck is in, driver side speaker and wire is in and both rear speakers with new wire are in. Now just need to get the passenger door done, hook up the amps and capacitor, finish the sub box and make pods for the tweeters. Down side, get it done in the next two days so I have it ready for my 4th of July weekend in Big Bear.
