There's a spot right under the battery. You can get to it from inside the car in the passenger side.

I went through where the steering column goes, there is a big rubber gasket if you carefully cut a small hole and feed the wire through it will keep it sealed. Just make sure you make a bracket to hold the wire away from the column as it will rub if you dont. Ill post some pics of when I ran my battery to the trunk.

Better place to run wires trough would be the bushing that is on the passengers side. It already has wires and there are no moving parts to fuck it up. Just make the hole bigger. Remove the kick panel on the passenger side and you will know what I'm talking about.

Longest I could find was 14 ft that wasnt long enough to go through the passenger side. Soooooo only if it were so simple.

What gauge wire? Go to ACE hardware or a hardware store where they have the huge spindles.
