Default Where to run power lead from engine bay into cabin?

I'm in the process of installing my new system and after I deadened my doors and ran my speaker wires, I wanted to run my power lead from the battery back to the trunk. I popped the hood and began scoping out how I wanted to run it and once I figured out where I wanted to put the fuse holder I began to look for a spot to run the wire into the cabin and wasn't successful. I don't see a spot to do so. I know some of you have done this yourself so maybe you can share with me where you ran it into the cabin at and how you did so.

Thanks in advance.

I seen that grommet, it's a nice size rectangular one right? I thought that would be the spot but I couldn't see where it comes through in the engine bay. Is it easier to get to from under the car?
