92 Hatch, no rear interior, no carpet. Only seats, dash, and door panels. Looking for a better way to run my power wire from the bay to the battery box in the back. Suggestions?

Inside the car, along the passenger side, where **** always falls out of your pocket and becomes unreachable. Use some duct tape to keep it in place.

On the exhaust tunnel side or door side? I was told there is also a channel that runs through the rocker, beneath the door jamb. Not sure if 0 gauge wire would run through that

On the door side. That's exactly where I had mine when I had an auxiliary battery in the trunk (along with something like 1200 watts of stereo hardware), and never had any problems. I tucked it under the factory plastics, but since you don't have those, a little bit of duct tape to keep it in place, and you should be golden.

Make absolutely sure you put a fuse near the battery, though. Having that long stretch of wire unfused is a recipe for disaster.

What size fuse should I use? and just an inline fuse?

Yep, just an inline fuse, installed as close to the battery as you can. 80a is the OEM main fuse, no reason not to use the same for a relocation.

Sweet, I appreciate the info. Im going to tidy up the bay a bit more before my motor goes in so I'll probably reroute it when I take the dash out to finish removing the AC components
