Passanger side firewall, low down. It goes under the passanger's feet under the carpet.

I was about to ask the same question about the power wire. I have a 2000 GT. Is that grommet in the same place? I couldn't see it...perhaps I didn't pull the carpet back far enough.
Lemme know....thanks.
im pretty sure its there man pull carpet back pretty far its on the middle back side of the passenger side floorboard just take a huge screwdriver and tape the wire to it and stab it threw haha good luck =]

I used a stepper bit, and then custom made a grommet that fit around the
wire and slid into the drilled hole. No problems...
Oh and it is located on drivers side down low... Make sure you dont drill into the subframe. Drill further to the left than you think and you will be ok.

a clothes hanger wire is my favorite tool for running amp wire, i ran new wire in this kids 00' grand prix and made a slit through the rubber groumet for the power wire so there wasnt a huge hole in the fire wall
i went through the pas. side where the door electronics come out then i went through the fender above the wheel, then pull it out right behind the front headlight, did this with the good old coat hanger!! its a fast and clean way to do it!! if u want pix ill post them!!
that's what i did. it's like a 2 piece grommet. the innermost will pop out and then it just takes a screwdriver like everyone else said. it'll pop right through. that's how i did it.

You would think these car manufacturers would think of making an accesories hole in the firewall for all the electronic gizmos these days. ARE YOU LISTENING GM
So if I am doing this right, I am having my wire actually running underneath the car for quite a bit am I right? I live in MN, and there is the dreaded salt and chlorideon the roads, and I am little worried about my wire rotting away. Any suggestions other then running it through the pass door?

personally if i could have ran mine under the car i would have but was just much easier under the carpet for me...i think ur wire would be fine but ur firewall is ur BEST bet.
