well on my car i drilled a small hole about 1/2 to an inch away from where the steering columb goes through the fire wall just make sure there isnt any wires or hoses where you drill.there arnt any wires between the walls that i kno of just pull the carpet up and look around.

After I asked the question I found a Hole on my firewall Blocked with 2 bolts and a plate. and i looked under the driverside and there is nothing there. woohoo. I dont know why i didnt see this before. So i guess this weekend I will run my amp wire instaid of running it through the passenger side door between the fender. this means i can upgrade my older alpine with a nice new model now. Sweet. Thanks guys for your help.

check it frequentlly because opening and closing the door will pinch the wire and if it cuts through the insulation, you can get screwed pretty bad.
