One more thing I should mention is that the access to the grommet from the cabin is very, very limited. On the passenger side, behind the dash, the space is stuffed with HVAC ducting, blowers, etc., I had to remove my 4x4 Control Module off the floor just so I could get my arm up enough to guide the fish tape down to the floor.
Despite all that, I am certainly not trying to discourage anyone from doing this, I think it is a cleaner routing option than going through the driver's side grommet and it really isn't too bad to do if you have the time and patience.

Best I remember it is an orange and yellow wire. It may go straight to the battery. It is hot all the time. I only added 300 watt amp so I did not need a huge power wire. Since my inverter is rarely used for anything other than cell phone charging I did not think tapping its power source would be an issue. So far no problems at all.

thanks again
Cut the nipple and stick the wire thru. A little lube helps

My power wire comes from the Battery to the firewall but down, then along undercarriage and through the floor on the passenger side....
Had it done yesterday.

This is perfect. Looked inside and there's even a channel in the metal under the carpet leading from this existing grommet to the wiring harness channel. I'm using marine grade 4Ga wire too so this won't be an issue at all.

Thanks, I owe you 10 internets.

Big thanks to all the posters here who posted about the Parrot wiring harness, and wiring help. Now I have a sound system worthy of my Roush F-150 SC.

Where on the passenger side is the hole?

Not a hole but a large grommet with a nipple on it.
