I just perused the install videos as a refresher and I'm sure it's listed in there somewhere but I must have missed it. I suspect I should be OK but confirmation would give me some peace of mind. If it's not going to fit I'll order another amp kit immediately.

Thanks!

I think you might of watched this vid:

Around 2:00 minute mark he shows the routing of 4 gauge wire to a unused grommet on the drivers side of the car.

I think that spot is only accessible if you have the automatic version. If you have a manual, it's almost impossible to reach it.

Yeah, you definitely can't use the drivers side location if you have manual. I would have preferred something a little neater than using that rubber boot on the passenger side, but ultimately it got the job done just fine. I didn't end up using any lube for the wire like most others, just pulled it through with a glow rod.
