Running the Power Cable to the Amp
I have a 2001 Honda Accord and would like to know the best way to run the 4 guage power source from my Amplifier (located in the trunk) to the battary. Where exactly is the firewall?

The firewall is what is between the engine bay and the cabin of the car

Re: Running the Power Cable to the Amp (fcm)
There should be an unused rubber grommet down on the firewall somewhere, buried behind whatever component is next to the firewall on the battery side. I'm guessing it's under the fuse box, which you'll have to move aside.
Have you done a search? That should turn up a bunch of stuff.

Go searching under the dash on the same side as the battery. Find where a bunch of wires are going through a big rubber opening and poke through it with a coat hanger. Tape the wire to the coat hanger and pull it back through.

If you do this, be careful not to damage any of the existing wires. I'd still suggest finding the unused rubber grommet.
