Default Whow can I get wire from the cabin to the battery?

I bought one of those Boss Bass 1200 under seat sub/amp combo's. I have been digging around trying to find a place to run an 8 gauge power wire to the battery from the front seat area. Are there any factory hole locations I should be looking for? I don't want to drill a hole.

I have fed wires through the hole in the firewall on the passenger side. Remove the cover that conceals the footwell blower and you can see where the ventilation ducts go through the firewall...feed the wire through there and then under hte carpet to the battery...

I understand where you are referring too but do you mean inside or outside the ducts themselves?

There are a number of holes that can be used under the hinge area on both the driver's and passenger's side. I used a small hole cutting saw and a grommet fit to match.

I used a roll of thin wire, bent into a hook at the end. You can try sticky tape, magnets, etc.

When you remove the door switch, you have to hold the black plastic plunger and prevent it from turning or the wire will twist off.
