theres already a hole under the passenger side carpet, you just gotta feel through and push the wire through, be patient with it, but it will go through

I have been on a project to run 4 gauge from the engine compartment to the trunk. I could not wrangle the passage for that major bundle in the passenger footwell.

I went through the passenger fender and in the door wiring grommet. Down behind the minor fuse panel and backward to the trunk.

Pull the back seat cushion off (two 18mm bolts) follow the existing wiring, there are no grommets or other obstructions in the back.

Picture story coming soon..

The rectangular solid rubber block? I could not find any way to breach it. Thought better than to stick a scratch-awl in into it.

I took the path of least resistance

That's where I ran my 2ga wire too. And actually, I have pics of that in my build log if anyone cares to see how I did it.

I ran two runs of 8 Gauge through the door panel with my old setup. But i feel 1/0 Gauge would not be the best wired through a door panel. Any pics would be awesome. I dont see how 1/0 Gauge will fit through that hole.

for the rectangle thing in the floor, i dont think you can go through it because its pretty tight but you have to pull it up and go behind it.

I went through it! It's no walk in the park, make no mistake about it, but it is possible.
