Drill if you have to just be careful.

NOO NO NOOOO, for the love of god dont drill, easiest car ever, take out the carpet on the passenger side where your feet go, you'll see a little rubber gromet in the floor, it's pretty big, poke that son-bitch out and you got you a nice hole, easiest car EVER to do a sub and amp in

5th gen Civics have to be the easiest. Bigass grommet directly under the battery (large enough for 0 awg).

Awesome, thank you guys very much for the help, i'm hooking the subs up 2morrow i bought all the wiring 2day, i'm gonna look for the rubber gromet in the floor and do like u said hopefully it works, so the wire will basically be able to slide threw that hole right?
Cuz my friend said it'll be a pain in teh *** to get the wire threw at all becuz of the heater core...but he didn't do any looking around for alternative routes...

yeah, just find where all the wires come through the firewall and fish yours through the same place.

Make sure you do not remove the grommet but go through it. Dont want to short out and or damage your power wire. You can also damage your cars computer or other sensitive (and expensive) components.

not the grommet i'm talking about man, seriously, if i know one thing, it's the damn 90-93 accords, don't worry about poking a hole just poke the damn thing clean OUT, and you'll have a big damn hole, you wont short anything i promise, it's in the passenger side, under the carpet

I just pulled out the grommet, fished the wire through, and popped the grommet back in so that my amps power wire is coming out the side of the grommet, but not through with the rest of the wires. Maybe thats a bad idea, but seemed easiest at the time.
