I think it will go under the back seat for now.

I think the channel under the doors ,, covered by the plastic, is too small...
Maybe a piece of the plastic Liquid Tite electrical flex conduit would protect it and you could run it under the cab and up under the back seats?

Hehehe. Maybe I should just buy some 4 gauge. I bet that would fit under trim.

Naw just run it... Drill the hole, put in a grommet, pass the wire, put some sealant over it and the place one of these over it .. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/18836/377%20710%201657/712/vent/Primary%20Search/mode%20matchallpartial/0/0?N=377%20710%201657&Ne=712&Ntt=vent&Ntk=Primary%20Search&Ntx=mode%20matchallpartial&Nao=0&Ns=0&keyword=vent&isLTokenURL=true&storeNum=5002&subdeptNum=12&classNum=12407

thats what I did for my power inverter....0 gauge wire is a little large to run in the channel....best bet is to run it under the truck and drill a hole with a quality grommet where you want it under the rear seat...make sure the gromet is good and even go as far as adding some silicone...0 gauge power wire rubbing on bare steel is not good

I've got 4 gauge running through the body (amp is under the rear seat) ut I was able to get it under the plastic tracks at the bottom of the doors. I was going to run a larger gauge, but not necessary even though it's a 1000 watt amp.
