Um can't you just drill either from the engine bay side or like somewhere near the gas pedal? Don't quote me! I just have a hole in mine from when I had to put my system wires from the tunk to the engine bay for the electrical. It was on passenger side ***.

Use the factory hole. TONS of room and terminates into the cabin right where you want it too. In the engine bay look at your battery and follow the cables into the hole to the right of the battery. It is behind the driver side front quarter panel. If you jack up that side of the car, remove the wheel and the fender well liner. You will expose the factory wiring. It passes through a huge rubber boot, you can fit everything you need too through the hole. It comes out so that you could route it up to a pillar pod gauge, or to the driver side dash area.

hey man i think dude was right in fact i know he was right i have a pretty big system in my ride plus a few other switches for neons but yea find the throtal cable and and go about an inch or an inchand quater with a strong bit *** more than likey u might need to make it alittle bigger by movin the drill in a circle and once u drill throgh the fire wall u need to keep going *** there will be some plastic be hide it and u have to goto through that too but u need to use a coat hanger or something with some fuct tape to get the wire through and run to a local audio shop and ask for an 8 gauge groment so the wires won;t get cut on the bare metal have fun man
