Okay~ I think I would feel much better doing this myself if I had some pics MikeyB

It's just that I've never done any wiring on my car~ only mechanical stuff and I don't wanna mess anything up.

If you found it, then what do you want pics of?

For reference, I punctured my grommet with a coat hanger. Then I tied my wires to the coat hanger and pulled it through. It was done in a matter of minutes.

Yup, that's the best way to run wires thru the firewall.
It's like it's made big enough to run some other cables/wires.
I ran my 4 gauge power cable thru that gromet.

I went outside into my 10 degree garage and took a photo for you.

Here is a photo of where I slid my power wire (BLUE WIRE) to my subwoofer through.



I could not take a photo from the engine bay side, its hard to see. If you are standing in front of your car looking at the engine bay, its in the very back right. It is hard to get wire through it because of its location. I am sure you could remove some parts, but I just used some tools and probably made my arm cramp about 15 times.

Those are some pretty good pics for you, I can't get out of my office now to take a pic because I'm waiting for a client to show up for a meeting.

best I can offer is in this picture below (taken from Google search) look on the firewall roughly behind the "Endless" sweatband on the upper right.

Using the picture that GPWhite posted, just crawl under your dash and stick a wire coat hanger through the top side of that grommet where the wires are coming through now and look under the hood and you can't miss it.
