Usually what I do is go through the same grommet that the hood latch cable goes through. Straighten out a section of coat hanger and make a small hook on the end and smash it closed. Now pry it open enough to hook the end of the wires. Strip about 4 inches off the wires and put them in the hook and smash the hook flat. Carefully pierce the grommet from the inside pointing slightly upward and push it in a few inches. Look under the hood to see where it is going and carefully pull it through. Fuse the positive at the battery. What size wire are you going to run? I would run 12 awg if you have it.Ok guys going to install my quad 5 this week. just need some advice on how to get the wires from the battery thru the firewall...

I would also go to the relay fuse box under the hood instead of the battery terminal. ....
On the starter motor itself?I normally use the hot lead on the starter motor stud.
The hood latch cable has a rubber boot to poke through.Grommets!
Or you'd be asking for a fire.
No problem. Don't forget to put a fuse at the positive connection under the hood.Thank you very much....
The floor plug will work if you want to pull up the carpet I guess.
Dude, no need to go through the firewall. I went through a rubber plug under the driver's floorboard for both power and feedline on my '16 F150. I also went straight to the battery and have had zero corrosion. I'm actually about to redo mine with 8GA for my Galaxy.
