Default Where to go through the firewall?

When running your power wire to the battery where did you guys go through the firewall at? I went through the passenger side foot well, through an existing hole. It was the one that what appeared to be a hose came through. The hose went to the bottom of the dash and opened up into the dash(not sure what this is). THe hole came out down below where the headers are I ran it up along the firewall and then to the battery. Is this a good place to have it????


Second question about crossovers in the doors. i mounted them towards the back inside that little cup thing, is that alright?


Any info would be great

There's also a nice grommet right behind the battery you can use.

Yup, that's what I used.

Remove the battery and you will see it.

Just in case you don't know, if you put the crossovers in the door, wrap them in something to absorb the shock from closing and keep rattles down.

I'm actually not a big fan of crossovers in the doors. I know a lot of folks do it w/o issues, but i just don't like the idea of them being jarred every time the doors are closed.
