Default Wiring up an amp? Help

Im about to put some subs in my vert and was wondering how others ran their wires. For the power wire that runs from the battery to the amp, where did you fish the wire through or did you drill a hole through the firewall. And how about the ground wire? Thanks

I ran a 1/0 gauge power and ground, and found a good spot on the firewall behind the battery to drill through. If you can fit them through the grommet and/or don't want to punch holes, that is a great way as well.

Just make sure you seal it well if you do drill anything, and cover the wires with something to avoid vibrating panels from wearing the shielding off.

Run the wire under the carpet and come out under the passanger seat and ground it to the passanger seat track. Thats how mine is set up

For the power wire, I ran mine under the carpets and threw the foot well of the passanger side to the battery. NO DRILLING REQUIRED!
