Running amp wires

I just bought an 05 MR with the regular 6 speaker system in it and I want to put my subs from my previous car in. The box I have fits and all but I just can't find a good way to run the power cable through the firewall or how to get the wires throught to the trunk. Any help would be MUCH appreaciated.

firewall, drill a hole next to the master cylnder, spend 3 hours fishing it through the grommet on the pass. side, or the rice way through the fender..

I don't know if it's the same on an evo, but on a previous car, I looked under the steering wheel. There is this rubber grommet thing that was about 6 inches in diamater. It had wires coming through the middle part of it, but it was too tight to fit an amp wire through it, but I was able to drill a hole next to the hole in the middle and run the amp wire through that. It took about 2 minutes, and didn't require that I drilled any other holes in the firewall. Worth a shot!????

FWD of battery, then back thru the top side of the inner LH Front fenderwell, thru the rubber grommet that leads from the door to the inside of the car, follow the LH wiring run which is under the bottom of the door covers on the LH sill, under the back seat to the trunk. Also, if you search on "roberto" in this forum you can find the instructions. You can do this without any drilling at all.

Or just go here and go to post #41

NP

But you don't have to take any thing a part in the inner fenderwell to route the wiring. I just used a coat hanger as a wire pulling tool to get it through. Like I mentioned in that thread, you could get a "cow" through there.

I did the same thing as the previous post recommended. No problems at all.
