ok, one question. What kind of system are you running that you'd need 1 or 0 
gauge wire? I used to sell systems and VERY rarely would anyone actually need 
more than 4 gauge. You can get back to me privately on that one if you want. 
Next, if you are going to run a big wire through the firewall, you'd better 
make sure you have room to move it around once it's in the passenger 
compartment. One thing people forget about wire that big is that you can't 
just bend it and pull it aside, it take a bit of room to make a bend. There 
is the possibility that you could run it in the body skirts along the side of 
the car, that would keep it protected and make it easier to run, just make 
sure you have a circuit breaker installed near the battery. Let us know.

<< Where is the ideal place to drill under the hood so
 that I can run 1/0 awg power wire?  Should I just cut
 into the soft black rubber grommet (4 lack of better
 word) on the left hand side and seal w/ caulk?
