My write up in the 5th gen how-to section has some photos of how to run it.
https://montecarloforum.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=16902
There is a round rubber grommet next to the brake booster that is ideal. With the filler panel under the dash on the drivers side removed and the carpet pulled back, use a long dial rod to push the grommet through the hole from outside it. The grommet should fall down into the footwell. Take the grommet and punture a small hole just big enough to slide the power wire through. After your power wire is run where you want it and before its hooked to the battery, slide the grommet over the power wire and using the same dial rod you pushed it out with, pop the grommet back into place. It will be difficult because there isnt much room to work with but it can be done.

thanks. i read that thread a few months ago and it really helped me. it would have taken me forever to figure out how to get the 6x9s out lol. thats the one thing i dislike about the 5th gens is the lack of room. everything is just crammed together.
