Default Can I run wire in the grommet for the AC unit?

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if I could run my amp wire through the whole for the AC unit on the left of the car?

Here's a pic:

I realize one of these will probably get cold and one will get hot... Could I tie wrap my wire on or near the cold one?

Has anyone run wires through here?

Thanks

Any opinions? I'm sort of waiting for a yay or nay to do this right now.

So I went ahead and used this spot:

The wire is not near the sharp lip and the wire is protected with some of that mesh stuff. It turned out really clean, let me know if anyone has any concerns/comments about this location.

Thanks
