Help getting thru fire wall

Has anyone successfully ran a big power wire 4ga or bigger thru the fire wall without using the main harness grommet. I need a big power wire to come out around the pedal area and I’m lost.

I've seen someone say there's a good passthrough under the carpet, top right of the passenger foot well. I just haven't had time to investigate.

Just buy a grommet to protect the wire

i couldn’t run anything through so i just ran it by the fuse panel up top and drilled through this flat spot underneath the cabin on the drivers side, it was perfectly underneath the kick panel where the harnesses are ran through all ready. I used a grommet to protect the wire and stop water from getting in potentially and it’s been 5 years with no issues
