Default Mitsudishi Eclipse amp install help

Anyone know where I can run the power cable from the battery through the firewall into the vehicle? Ive installed quite a few systems in F-bodys, but have never done it in an eclipse. Its a 2000 GS. (DD) Anyway, I cant seem to find a spot to sneak the power wire in. Thanks in advance.

I did one not too long ago. The only option I could find was a small spot on the passenger side footwell. Be very careful because there isn't much clear space and there are several brake lines you could hit with your bit if you are not careful.

Take up the carpet, there should be a rubber grommet that has loom running thru it on one side or the other, use that. You can also look by the driver's kick plate there should be a firewall grommet there also.

Believe it or not, this vehicle does NOT have one. I was told by a pro, that only American vehicles tend to have a grommet on them. Im still stuck.
