I run my power wire through the drivers side grommet. You could remove the rubber gasket, but I prefer to keep it in while just pushing the wire around the outside of it. That way it is still sealed up pretty good, and there is plenty of room to fit the wire. I usually use a screw driver to pull the gasket back so I can slide the wire in, then let it go once I get enough of it in to pull it though the other side. Other than removing the gasket that is the only way you are going to do it. There just isn't enough room to fit any decent size wire through the factory grommet at its current size. Hope that helps

thank you very much, now what size wrench will I need to remove the head unit?

Better yet, how the hell do I get it out period. It is an aftermarket headunit above the factory one.

Usually aftermarket HU's come with keys to remove them. What kind of HU is the aftermarket one? It is easy enough to remove the stock HU's with keys you can pick up at autozone for a few bucks. But you can't just take a wrench to a HU to remove it.

Theres a grommet thats not being used by the brake booster. Running the wire through the firewall in my Friends 2000 Mustang was the easiest evar

Back when I was first learning about my mustang, I found this tutorial helpful. Not sure if you have the mach460 or not, but it still gives you some decent pictures.
