Where did you route your power wire through the firewall?

How did you route your power wires from the battery to the amp's location? Simple as that. I'm looking for ideas. I have a 1G TSX and would like to mount a small amp in the trunk to power some 6x9s. But this doesn't really have to be TSX specific. The biggest hurdle I'm facing is getting the wiring through the firewall into the passenger compartment. I'd rather not have to drill it if possible. Using a factory opening with a grommet already in place would be far better. Pictures would be nice if possible. Thanks for looking everyone!

If you look at your firewall, you should see rubber grommets with bundles of wire running into the passenger compartment. I simply punched a whole through the rubber below any and all wires to ensure I wouldn't hit them, and then just ran the power wires through there

From what I could tell by looking under the hood there's two wire looms that go through. Wound up going through the one on the driver side just due to proximity to the battery. I couldn't find the clutch pedal grommet that others have mentioned in other threads, was hoping someone would put up a picture for reference. Thanks Ack!

Sorry, I lost all my pictures a few years ago, but I went through the drivers side as well because of the battery
