Best path to run power wire to truck for sub?

I haven't popped apart anything yet, just looked under the hood and wondered, what's going to be the best way to get through the firewall and then back to the truck?

Folks who have done this what is the "cleanest" way to hide the wire.

Thanks,
Chris

Probably depends on where you're going to park the truck

If you parked the truck anywhere close to your trunk (or otherwise behind your firewall)...

...you probably should run it near the ECU housing. I've seen lots of pics of this. Dig through the Audio forum for more details.

Through the rubber nipple on the box that houses the ecu, down through the hole in the bottom of the ecu housing, behind the LH kick panel, under the LH door sills, up under the rear seat then to your destination.<p>donp - '00 S4 Silver/Silver

I followed the brake lines with 2 1 guage welding cables. Back in under the back seat
