Default Firewall Help
I have a 2011 GT-E Manual.

I cant find a way through the firewall to run my power wire to my amp.

I thinking to go through the steering wheel grommet, but I cant get that plastic piece off behind the break.

What have you guys done? I would like to avoid drilling the firewall.

I drilled the fire wall from just under the pedals. Surprisingly easy compared to other cars I've done.
Although on an '04 I want to say, it had a grommet already in (bone stock) that I swear was made for a 4 gauge wire. Just above the pedals, we just came across it by chance. Look around some more, might get lucky. But I still suggest drilling a grommet!
