you will have to drill a hole somewhere or go through the same hole as the antenna. i went through the antenna hole with my 4 ga. you'll probably have to cut the grommet out bigger to fit it good.

Wherever you do go through, make sure that wire is going through a grommet, you don't want it rubbing against metal, it will cause you a ton of headaches.

however you decide to do it make sure it is fused.

I ran mine through both of the mentioned grommets. When I had the battery in the stock location I ran it through the driver side grommett. Now that the battery is inside the 1/0 is running through the antenna grommett.
