i need to get a 4 ga. wire from the battery to under the back seat for a audio system, I plan to do all the work myself, but the part that makes me most nervous is drilling through something unintentionally, is there a specific location on the firewall that is safe that would come out say near the right front speaker housing somewhere? specific dimensions would be the cats meow. I am not mechanically inclinded, but i know stereos.

battery is on passenger side.

battery side (hmmm, was that the drivers side, i sold my wrangler) up near the master cylinder, then run it down and along the edge of the floor pan. remember to run the RCAs on the other side to avoid noise. use a "unibit" and you cant go wrong regarding size, just stop when its large enough to fit the cable and the grommet. dont forget the grommet. especially important in a jeep which gets a lot more jarring. just be careful around brake lines, ok? no matter where you drill it, just use common sense and you'll be ok. use a punch first for a pilot hole so the bit doesnt "walk".

There is a rubber grommet on the driver side to the right of the steering column. It would only use a little more wire to run it on that side and then there would be no reason to drill any holes. If you decided to remove it later the grommet would also nearly close itself back up if you only made a hole big enough to get your wire thru it.

in the adventure that your drill bit is sharp, you may desire to be ok. Use slightly oil interior the hollow to help the approach alongside. i think of the screws will stay interior the holes, yet i'm frightened the whole physique might bend from the load of the basket, rather if each guy or woman grabs it. Your drill bit is slightly smaller than the screws, so the thread will chew, perfect?

Follow the antenna wire and feed it through the grommet where the antenna wire goes through.
ADDED: Or something else that all ready goes through the fire wall.

go into the existing hole that is there. cut a hole in the rubber plug that is already holding the cars existing wires.
