Default Best route for wire in cab to battery?

I am going to start a head unit and sub install this week. The sub amp needs to draw power directly from the battery (i am also hooking a remote lead from the HU). I am installing the sub under the passenger seat. So what is the best route to get from there to the battery without having to poke any new holes? I saw once that someone mentioned a grommet around the brake pedal?

"know-it-alls" HAHAH Fortunately mine are still 6 yr old know-it-alls!!

If there is any resemblance to the 2nd Gens, there is an available grommet hole on driver side by the Vac Booster (towards the fender side). You'd just poke a hole in it with like a hanger wire unless you get your know-it-all group with the skinny arms to run an awl or something to get it started.

Just above and inboard of the brake booster is a plastic plate. It covers the hole where the clutch linkage would be. Pop a hole through that. It's easy and up high enough no water is likely to get through. I used that for all wire passages into the engine room.
