Anyone run 1/0 in a G6?

[97chameleonbird 10+ year member]

Planning on running some 1/0 in my 07 G6 Coupe. I would rather not pull seats but doubt it will fit under the door sill. Anyone know if it will fit or an alternate route in running it? If I must pull a seat I could probably do the passenger side because its not electric on that side. Thanks.

The battery isn't in the trunk like the g5?

I run all my power wires outside the car....inside the frame rails and loop

them into the trunk and or hatch areas.......unless its small wire and I can find a hole

in the firewall

Comes out cleaner IMO outside routing.

Couldn't wiring in the frame rail cause problems if the wire freezes and becomes brittle ?

Battery Cables use cheap sleeves and they last for decades,Car Audio cable use thick durable

sleeving......Its a non issue - I have my KNU 1/0 cable under my truck 6-7 years

Where do you live? Do you drive in salt and snow? How do you hold it up with rubber insulated clamps bolted to the underbody?

How do you end up getting it back in the car, do you have a couple of quick pictures? Thank you.

Also, the G6 has the battery under the hood. I was thinking of putting it in the trunk but I would have to run wire to the rear then anyway.
