Where have you guys run your power cables, to get them from the battery, to the back of the car (assuming you're still running the battery up front :D)

On my Camaro, I just ran it along the fender, where it meets the hood, up and down into door/windshield area, and then down under the driver's side sill panel, to the back of the car.

Unfortunately, Toyota's better engineering has all kinds of conduits under the carpet/sill area, and I'm having to really squeeze this 4 gauge wire in there.

It seems to be going smoothly so far, but I was wondering how some of you guys have run your power/ground wiring?

I poked a hole though the boot for the eng. harness to ecu, and went down to the kick panel. Then, i removed the door sile trim and tucked the wire under the carpet. After that i went under the rear seats to the rear cargo area and hooked the amp up.
