I'd say, through the bulkhead grommet,and down the drivers side inner sill.
You can feed 4guage through there with minimal hassle.


It should be a similar route to the battery relocation cable IIRC

The grommet in the bulkhead used for the headlamp 'aim control' pipes, behind the battery, looks ideal. I'm going to try to running a cable through there as I've moved my amp and want to shuffle the wiring around.
