03 TL-S: Best place to run amp wire thru?

For those of you 2g TL owners who have ran amp wire.. wheres the most ideal spot to push it thru the firewall?

any reccomendations on where to run the wire in the cabin? i was thinking down the side by the doors.

If you looking at the throttle body straight in to the fire wall, right underneath the nut that holds your right side (passenger) wiper arm. (from your side would be on the left side wiper arm)about less than 10 inches or so, you will see a small rubber plug, look very close, easy to miss it. You can pop it out with a flat head crew driver, and push the foam right through the other side then run your amp wire right through it. I have a picture of that but i don't know how to post, if you can't find it i can email you.

This is what I did on my CL as well, sounds like you got it run, but just want to reiterate that this is the best way
