Im trying to run some large wires from the battery, though the firewall for a stero, but I cant find a hole. Is there any avalable holes, and if so where are there? If not, can I drill a hole, and where is a good location to drill a hole?
the best place to run it is to pull off the left side fender liner (on the inside of the wheel well), then you'll see the factory wiring harness and grommets.
if needed, you can drill a hole there too. pics on my website..

Matt's idea and pics are great. However, it depends upon where you want the wire to go. If it's just from the engine compartment to the under dash area, I have found it's best to drill a hole right by the steering column. You first can look inside the engine compartment-find a position by the steering column that's open - that is, where you won't drill into something else and is clear to run wire.
Then remember this spot - and drill from under the dash in the same position from the steering column. I then put on a thin coating of silicone sealer on the hole and put the rubber grommet in-place. Then run your wire and seal on both sides with silicone sealant. I've used this technique for years and have never had any problems, rust, etc.
