Main power cable placement

Where did you guys run the main power cable to your distribution block? I have been outside for an hour trying to find a good spot to get the cable from the engine compartment to the inside of the car....any suggestions?

Drill a hole in the firewall and insulate with a rubber grommet.

Instead of drilling another hole in your car why not use holes that are already there. I run mine up the passenger side engine bay right by the fender. Then it ducks into the antenna area inside the fender, then it goes through the antenna cable grommet.
