Runing Power Wire help ASAP
Hi guys. I need to know the best place to run my 4gauge wire through the fire wall. I have a 97 lx 5 speed. Are there any holes already in the firewall that I could use, cause I've looked and haven't really seen any. Thanks.

Welcome!
I'm sure a G2 driver will chime in, but you could always find a new spot, drill a hole, use a plastic or rubber grommet, run the wire throung the firewall and seal it up with silicone.
make sure to know where your drilling and whats behind it!!!
always use a rubber or plastic grommet when running wires through the firewall or any metal area.
always fuse all power connections with the appropriate sized fuses, and the main audio fuse on your power wire should be within 18" of the battery.
