HIDEAWAY Install - Power Cable to Battery Question

Hello,
I am purchased a Kicker Hideaway powered amp and reviewed the installation guide and have a question.
The attached picture shows the cable end that needs to be connected to the battery and I am wondering how I can do that.
When I searched the forum for DIY, the others have inserted the power cable from the engine bay to the passenger glove cabinet area.
However, for this wire, I don't think I can do it like the DIY and asking for help!

I also attached the installation guide from Kicker.

(I do need to splice a part with a fuse by the end of the cable, but it is still same concept)

This is my first audio part install, Please help!

you need ring terminals and a fuse.

**Please do not install this with out a fuse**


find one that will fit that size wire (looks like 12-10ga)

run the wire into the cab though the large rubber gromet behind the battery.
Its probably 4-6" around.

Cut a hole in the grommet.

Removed the glove box and interior carpet/panels around the area.

Run power wire to the rear of the car.

Check out this article on a sister site. Its got some nice pictures. Even though your wire is about 1/20th the size, Id route it the same way

I saw this thread and another similar but no one has posted how they did it, where they mounted it, or how it sounds once installed.

please help?
