Default Amp Power Wires

I am in the process of installing an aftermarket Amp and Sub combo. I am just wondering how you guys are running your power wires? It looks like the only way is to run the wire from the battery along the drivers side across the engine back to the passenger side and then through the firewall? I was hoping to run the power wire only along the drivers side so I can keep it away from the RCA cables that I am running along the passenger side. Thanks in advance for any info!!

I ran mine through the hole in the inner fender under the fuse box like the body harness does, up through the bottom of the drivers fender(removed the plastic shield in the fender well to do this, then replaced it afterwards), pushed it through the same hole as the body harness into the drivers kick panel, used a metal coat hanger as I recall, then pulled it through the inside, under the carpet to the back, pulled the back seat and there was a big grommet behind it on the driver side I punched a hole through with a screwdriver and into the trunk it went. 4awg wire. Through the kick panel was a bit of a pita, but once done it was a nice clean install and the wire is as short as possible.

Finally got around to running a power wire like described above. It came out really clean but getting the wire through that hole was a PIA!!!!!! I used the 3 white clips that hold the factory harness in place to hold the power in place as well.
