Looking to mount an amp in the hatch. I was looking to run the power cable through the drivers side firewall and looks kinda hard on this side.
Just wanted some opinons on where to route the cables. Here are my choices.

1. Route the cable underneigh the car. ( I have access to lift)
2. Run cables through the passenger firewall.
3. Be brave and figure a way to run the cables though the drivers side firewall.


BTW, I am looking to run 8 guage cables.
Thanks

DEFINITELY NO. No way, no how. Extremely bad news, dude.

2. Run cables through the passenger firewall.
Yes.

3. Be brave and figure a way to run the cables though the drivers side firewall.
You don't really want high-current cabling running through the already-clustered drivers-side dash area.

Plac just posted a video like a week ago on how he ran a power cable in an 07. I really doubt it would be that much different, and the spot on the drivers side of the firewall that he used is probably still there if I had to guess. I could be totally wrong.

Check it out.
