Long time reader, first time poster. Great Website by the way. I need help finding a hole in the firewall of a 2001 Lexus RX300 to run a 4 gauge wire through. My customer would rather not have me drill a hole in the firewall unless it is 100% neccessary for the installation.

Also I need to tap into the rear speaker wires for an amp interface adapter. I have searched and only come up with wire codes for an IS300 and i would like to make sure that the color codes are the same, along with the factory amp location(passenger upper kick panel).

Thankyou for any help.
