Power for amps into cab

For those of you who have done this (and those who have not and know) where would the best place be to get a power cable into the rear of the (club) cab to power some amps? any existing holes, or will I have to make one?

I thought about that, but I am looking to get power to the back of the cab, under the rear seats... thought about going through a gromet on the firewall, under the channel by the door and around that way, wondering if theres a way to go through the floor or back of the cab...

I ran my 1/0 down the frame to the back of the cab where I found a spot under the rear seat mount bracket to drill a hole. I used a 3/4" nylon thru-hull fitting for a boat to protect the cable from chafing and siliconed it up( the 1/0 was a fairly snug fit)

definately read this thread before you start wireing up your system: http://forum.sounddomain.com/ubb/ult...c;f=5;t=008251

on my 2nd gen. I was able to get the 0 gauge through the main grommet in the firewall, just be careful not to destroy any of the other wires in there. On my new truck I just drilled a new hole, passed the wire through and siliconed it up.
