Where to run amp power wire thru firewall??

I take delivery on a brand new 2003 F-150 SuperCrew this week and I'm already planning upgrades to the audio system. Wondering if anyone has suggestions for locations to pass amp power wires through the firewall. Are there any existing holes on either driver's or passenger side??

Lemme know.

Thanks,

You'll probably have to drill a hole and grommet it. You may be able to find some slack between an existing hole and some wire. There may even be a plugged hole you can take advantage of. An audio shop may be able to help by drilling a hole for you.

There are factory grommets you can use. The easiest one to access is on the driver's side behind the gas pedal.

Ditto. I have used this same one in my 2001. Tight but workable.
