Default Amplifier power cable installation

Im not sure if there was a thread about this or not, But i was going to take my system and put it in my 98Z. The only problem i have had is where the power cable from the battery is the best route to go when running it to the back of the car. I took a glance at it and couldnt find the hole in the firewall, so left me to assume that i might have to drill out a hole.... but i dont want to have to do that, lol. Im just wondering which would be the best cleanest route i could take, and if there is a spot to already run the power wire through the firewall in my car because i could not seem to find it. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

There is a hole behind the PCM. You can get to it from the inside without pulling the pcm out. I always just push wires and nitrous feed lines through from the inside far enough and they poke up over the pcm

Took mine through same hole as described above. Similar manner to the shbox.com tutorial using a piece of home electrical Romex wire. Routed behind pass side kickpanel, all the way down next to pass seat under the panel to the rear. I did utilize some wire loom as well just for some added protection. Good luck.
