Default running power wire from the battery?

Does anybody know a good place to run the power wire from the battery to the trunk? I can't seem to find a hole from the firewall.... on a 93 civic hatch.

Use the big fat grommet for the ecu wires....poke a hole in it and pull the wire through.
If you drill a hole, you have to use a rubber grommet anyway, so why not just use whats there?

My EJ had a fire wall plug just below the battery, with nothing there. The cable dropped in behind the glove box, and i ran it down the door channel, behind the back seat, to the trunk.

Thats probably like your carpet, you have to pull the carpet back a little to get to that hole, but ya thats what I used when I ran the power wire.

i drilled a hole right behind my battery and sealed it with silicone, then i ran the wire down my console since it was the easiest to get off, under the carpet and rear seat. it looked professional all except for the hole i drilled but the battery hides it

I used the gromet by the battery in my Ej. There is a sheath that you have to poke behind it also.
