Default Amp Install......

Has anybody found a good spot to run a fat power wire thru firewall to hook up an amp? I finally got a amp but cant locate anywhere to run cable,nothing is visible,my friend said something about removing some plastic under hood to access but I havent been able to spend any time f-ing with it and my installers havent worked on my model car....

i ran 0-gauge wire through the gap inbetween the fender panel... just unbolt it and slip the wire through, then bolt it back up.
