This is your lucky day....There is a perfect spot for a 4gauge wire in your prelude (I ran in mine too). Open up the hood and look on the passenger side near the firewall, you'll see a black fusebox. Take it out of the way...it is held by 2 clips behind it. Then you'll see 2 big black looms going inside the cabin with a ton of different wires. I used the one on the right side, the one that is closer to the driver side, but both I think should be fine. Take off the black tape of the end of the rubber loom (you can also take out the black grommet...it might be easier this way). Then, take a nife or scissors (don't worry, it won't hurt) and cut a bit the end, because it is too tight in there. Once you cut it, insert your 4gauge wire and it should easily come into your cabin. Once you see it hanging down there, behind the heater, just pull it out as much as you need and you're pretty much done (don't forget to put the tape back on, where you cut it). I ran mine under the plastic floor panel near the door (not sure of the exact name for it)...under the carpet near other factory wires. Then to the side panel near the back seat and into the trunk. You don't have to remove the side panel in the back...just remove the back seat and kind of pull with your hands the panel away a bit and you should be able to squeeze it through. That's it
