Question Firewall wire routing?

Ok, I need a hole in the firewall, preferebly already drilled, to run (surprisingly enough) an amp power cord through. Any unused grommets or anything of that sort? 94 Ranger XLT single cab 4.0 V6 Manual. I would rather not drill through if I don't have to, not my speciality. Thanks for the help!

I recently installed an overhead console in my Ranger that required wires through the firewall. I punched a hole through the grommet of an original wire and ran the new wires through the hole. The rubber formed around the new wire for a good seal. Good luck.

As I recall the original wire had a grommit of about 1" and is located on the left side of the steering column. I punched the hole with an ice pick ( which removed no material) and pushed my two wires through. As I said, the rubber of the grommit sealed around the added wires. Good luck.
