I hate to ask but I am slightly stumped on where to run some of my audio wiring without drilling a hole and getting a grommet. Are there any existing ones, that I am just blind to, where I could make 2 runs of 00G? I see one below the steering column but it seems slightly too small for both runs, does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

which one are u refering to? the big one by the steering column fits 2 runs of 00g but u have to cut some of the rubber away. i have a 0g and a 00g and a 10g possibly a 4g but i think i used the stock power wire location for the 4g i dont remember

I'd be more curious why you'd want to source that large of wire from under the hood. Personally, interfacing as much as possible direct from the battery the better. May not be closer to the alternator, however it doesn't displace the flow of electricity by sourcing from battery. The stock wiring back to the batt is already pretty hefty, at most you'd need to upgrade that wire and then run all from batt still.

Big 4, alt to battery and engine ground(alt bolt) to negative) I got 50 ft of 00G OFC for $60.

2/0 right or just 1/0? thats a damn good deal if its good wire

so you would be running one pos, one neg?

if your running wiring for a system why wouldnt you run it directly to the battery? it would be a shorter route and seems simpler since the battery is in the trunk.

Agreed, you can run right under the trim, carpet and seat to the battery directly, no drilling of holes required

Yes 2/0, and I will be running the regular big 3 positive and a dedicated engine ground through the grommet(s), It is better than AWG standards for 2/0 OFC the wire is by a dead brand called Funkin' Audio. I also got a Funkin Audio SL 15 SQ sub for $50 when they were still in production they retailed for $289. My sub along with the wire were sitting in a shipping container since 07 when the brand went out of business. The owner of Diyma.com, Anthony, bought it on a whim without knowing much about the brand, or even exactly what was in the container aside from looking through the doors at the stacks of car audio stuff. Aside from there not being any "***** Funkin" series subs in the container he definitely got a sweet deal. I have personally done a lot of research on the brand before I bought the sub and decided it would be a good home theater sub so the last time Diyma had a 50% off sale I snagged them, along with some Diyma brand OFC 16G(200ft for $40) for the home theater and speaker wiring in the Cobalt. Unfortunately I can not find T/S specs for the 15 so I am having a hard time modeling the box, thinking about just making a T-line, there are specs on Diyma but everyone, including Ant, doesn't believe them to be correct.

Sorry for the book.
Google the big 3 or read here Since our batteries are in the back I am doing the big 4 which consists of battery+ to alt, battery- to alt bolt, battery - to ground, and engine ground(alt bolt) to car. The bolded ones are what I am needing help finding existing grommets for since currently I don't have the ability to drill holes in the firewall.

Haven't had time to mess with it, closing on a house on the 10th and have a ton of packing to be done.
