I found this photo in another thread. This is where the wire goes. you will find this large rubber grommet at the base of the windshield on the passenger side , 9under the black plastic cover located just under the wiper blade.

Well the grommet you make your own hole. Under the grommet is a hard plastic holder of sorts. You will have to see if you can get 2 ga. in there. I was using smaller wire.

no you cant... you have to pull the carpet up and then look from underneath the car to fish it to the hole...

Finished

I finished it today. After I got the wire in the footwell as described earlier, I went thru the passenger kick panel, down the passenger door sill, up by the rear side speaker and sort of under the seat into the and under the plastic spare tire surround and out by the jack. I connected to the battery with a fuse holder. No fuse until all is connected and grounded.
