where to route postive cable thru firewall?

im putting a sub in my car and cant find a good placed to route the positive cable thru the firewall. id like it to go thru the firewall on the drive side. where has everyone routed their cables? i will also use the same spot to route my wideband and boost cables thru as well.

I ran mine through the driver's side fender, then through a pass through below the A pillar in the gap between the fender and leading edge door, then through the driver's side scuff plates, behind the seat and into the trunk.

The hole is about half way up the firewall so run it into the bay, then down and around the back of the engine, you can't really see mine and that's how I ran my boost gauge and battery wire.

are you guys talking about the grommet that a harness runs through below the blower motor, right above where the carpet stops? That's the only rubber grommet that I can see. How did you guys get through it? I can't get the thing to budge, was gonna cut a small slit in it.
