Default How to pass wire for electric cut out?

Any easy way to route the wire for a electric cutout? I got the QTP and its installed in the I pipe. I did a search, and couldn't find a write up on it. Thanks

Route the cable into the car from the grommet under the right reat seat (one bolt to remove). I let a few inches show, just tucked it under the console, then got power for the switch from the radio fuse, and ground from the black wire coming off the cig lighter.

Havent looked at it yet, but what does this grommet look like? Do I first remove the seat and pass the wire from inside the car to the outside, or do I pass it from outside to inside?

I routed mine up into the engine bay then through the firewall. My cutouts are closer to the motor than yours so you might not have enough wire to do this.

the grommet is a black circle plug about the size of a half dollar. you'll have to pull the grommet out from the bottom of the car, then remove the plastic trim on the passenger side that covers the carpet. i grabbed the wire and reached under the carpet and stuck it through from the inside.

After you remove the bottom rear seat you'll see the grommet, just cut an "X" in it and push the cable through from under the car, seal it with silicone caulk on top to keep any water out, then you're in the car and can route the cable/wires.
