I believe you can un-bolt the CPU on the drivers' side and run the wire there. <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

You can also unbolt the PCM on the passenger side(not hard just slide it out carefully) and there will be a gromet there....

Check out my page, look under AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION I have some pics of an installation I did today. I went through the grommet in the firewall behind the ECM on the passenger side. It was real easy. Probably easier then climbing under neath and trying to drill through, as I gave that a thaught myself.

Good Luck
