still way more hastle to lay it thru the fire wall and under the trim than down the back and along the brake pipes imo. power is in the bay and needed in the boot. easy to just bypass the cabin.
now all the wires that start in the cabin stay in there. also, a friend set his car alight by putting power cable thru the cabin. chair clip came down and severed it. as such i like it to be tucked away between the body and the brake pipes.
