freshman installing an amp, need help please!, how to run the main power wire from the battery to the cabin? Options

[xkillerx]

hello people!

about a month ago i FINALLY became an owner of a 6th geni celica - after many years of craving for one. much of the SQ audio system i had in my ex-corolla is now waiting for an installation. i was looking today for some kind of hole i could use to put in the 10mm2 (awg 1 or 0 i guess) power wire (from the battery to the cabin) but couldnt find anything

i'm running a 97 ST with air conditioning, abs and all the good stuff.

also i'll probably be getting new speakers for my car. bare in mind, GOOD speakers are a NIGHTMARE to buy here (and i pretty much CANT order stuff from the net). the choice comes down to three contenders: jbl gto6507c OR apline type S 171A or ground zero hydrogen 17cm components (a completely unknown yet quite expensive german brand). i believe the JBL component system should sound the best and cost the least, but i'm waiting for feedback from all you car audio enthusiasts (i know there's a whole bunch of you here! ) for the speaker brand decision (and please, please dont recommend stuff i cant get. trust me if i could i'd get polk's or mb quart's or infinity's but they are NOT an option in this $h17hole country )

Here's where I ran mine. (Keep in mind mine is RHD)



Made a small slit in the ribber boot circled in purple, and just fed the wire through.



I took the glovebox out to make it easier, and after feeding enough wire through, it came out here, behind the glovebox. (Following the path of the arrow). Then just ran it under the side carpet to the boot.
