I ran 4 gauge through an existing hole.
In both of the Audi's I've had I have been able to run all of my wires through an existing hole in the firewall. The whole I used is a little hard to get to, but the wires come out near the brake pedal and are real easy to run from there.

A few weeks ago I asked that very same question....
I used a free hole just behind my abs unit. In the original pics that I posted (below) I high lighted one such free grommet, but I actually used the larger one below. It's just perfect for 4 gauge cable and in my car it came out right near the glove compartment and it was then very <i>simple</i> but tidy to feed into the wire loom, then to the boot.
Hope that helps.
