Power Wire Install Help

I have a 2000 grand prix gt and I was wondering if anyone has ran 2 runs of 0 ga. through a grand prix. I don't see anywhere easy to drill through the firewall. Any help or suggestions would be really helpful.

what i would do if i wouldnt be able to pass through the firewall is sending the 2 0gauge wire under the car. making sure its loomed from front to back and secured with clips every 8 inch or so. and then just pop in somewhere in the weel well

I was thinking about that because my rocker pannels have a little ledge that i could tie the wire up on. I would rather have the wire going through my firewall but this seems like the easiest way. Should I use anything extra to protect the wire?

I'm thinking that is going to be my easiest route. I was hoping to get it through the firewall but there is no good spots. I'll take one more good look and then I'll probably run it under the car. Thanks for your help.

If you run it under the car run it through plastic plumbing pipe, that way the elments will not damage it. DO NOT run under and just tape it to the car or panels.
