Default Where did you run your amp power wire?

I have been getting ready to run my power wire from the battery to the trunk. I am considering several options, including under the car or inside the cabin. I just wanted to get some feedback on the pros/cons of both ways, and see how others have done it. If you went inside the cabin, which way did you run it? Where did you go throught the firewall and how (drill or existing hole)? Same story for under the car. Any tips that might make it smoother for me? Thanks a million in advance.

Jeff,

There's a nice sized hole behind the battery into the cabin...lift the battery out and you'll see what I'm talking about. I would suggest against running the entire thing outside the car as the chances for damage (and therefore a short circuit) are too great.

Oh, I forgot about the rest...you can run the wires into the trunk through the air relief vents behind the seats.
