Why not use one of the existing large rubber grommets-reseal with silicone?

I thought of that only I'm not sure where the wire will exit and the closest grommet seems like it will exit in the dash (don't want to remove it) or under glove box. I don't want it exposed on floor board. Would it be easy to hide with the gbox senario? The main thing is to conceal with ease.

i'm ham radio operator i ran my driver side without drill
any holes, your amp wires maybe bigger than my wire ( 12
gage ) if you drill large hole make sure you use
grommet.that just my thought !

Thanks jgreenjr. I have 12ga and a grammet specificaly for the wire. I was just hopeing to go passanger side (batt side) for less freq interferance and shorter distance. I might have to do that though. Thanks

Well it kind of depends upon what generation you have. I had an 02 and pulled the clutch delete plate on mine and drilled a hole through that, then reinstalled it.

work for me anyway.

I got I in through the rubber grommet directly fwd of the glove box. Had to drop (not open) the glove box and route with the rest of the electrical / conduits that run under carpet and along that plastic floor panel (where closed door covers). This helps shorten wire distance to route reducing powerloss / interferance. I have a 04 frontier so there is plenty of engine room and I'm not sure with v6 equipt. The system sounds great and thank you all!
