Post Amp wiring

Hey Guys,
I'm currently trying to install an amp and sub into the factory sub location and I'm looking for a way to run the power from the battery to the amp... Is there a good way to run this cable? I've looked in the engine/firewall area and it looks like there's absolutely no place to run the wire. Any help would be truly appreciated.

Later,
R

I ran my power cable down a black rubber grommet in the backside of the battery towards the left (its like the very left corner). It may take some force to punch a hole since the rubber is kind of thick. Then if you look inside on the passenger side towards the upper right underneath the dash, you should see it come down.

Then just run the wire underneath the carpet if you can or under the panel all the way into the storage bin behind the passenger seat. From there you can route the speaker wire to the factory sub location, thats is if you plan on placing your amp in the place of the storage behind the passenger seat.

I bought one of them amp kits that came with a 17 ft power cable. All I know is that i did not use all of it. I would guess that I used about 8-10 ft.

You should have room to spare if you get a kit with 15+ ft power cable if you are placing your amp in the storage bin on the passenger side. Hope that helps.
