Default Running power wires- need some advice

OK, so I ordered an amp and all the wiring I need. I read all the FAQ's and posts on running the speaker wires through the grommets, and running past the passenger sidesill, and the hole through the back. I have all the info for the passenger side, including removing the rear panel to access the hole to get to the trunk.

My question is now running the power wire. I'm going to be using the grommet under the brake cylinder. Does 4 gauge wire fit under the side sills? or do I run it under the carpet alongside the inside end? And is there also a access hole to the trunk just like the passenger side?

thanks, hopefully i'll be able to do this install without much trouble.

It will fit in the same area as on the passenger side. It looks the same, just there's some other stock wiring in there, but it fits fine.

In order to do a "clean" install, make sure you run the wires under the carpet as well as the sill. Once you pop the sill, the carpet is held to the sill using little plastic clips. Lift carpet and slide wires underneath. This will ensure that the wires will not accidentally pop the sills off, or hang down.
