Help With Firewall on a 93 Civic

[TwiztedRolla 10+ year member]

My homeboy just got a 93 civic 4-door. I'm tryin to install his system for him, but he doesn't want me to drill into the firewall. Is there any hole there already, cuz I've been lookin and i can't find one. Thanks for any help.

What size wire? If its smaller than 4 guage, I'm sure you can find a small hole somewhere, but if its big wire (4,2,0 guage), then I'd suggest drilling...

People run wire through the door, but that is a horrible idea...

Not a good idea at all...

yeah, and exactly why?

power close to speaker wires??

hood, slamming on power wire?

possible leaks to the wire??

i3abyjay25 - I saw a rubber grommet that was about an inch and a half in diameter right where u're talking about.. but when i pulled it out, there was metal behind it. And I'm trying to run 4 gauge wire, but i do have some 8 gauge, either one will work, I just need to get it to the amp.
