ARB Air Compressor Install

Is it easy to find the grommet on the passenger firewall? And how big is it? For my estimated 15' run (I have not measured it yet), I will need 2 AWG wire to handle the max 63+ amps of the ARB Twin. That's thick wire. Do you think I'll be able to hide it under the trim to get it back to underneath the back seat? Or would it be easier for me to pierce the tub and just go out and under? I have run an ARB Fridge outlet to the bed using their kit (which I think is like 22' of wire). I don't recall what route I took, but certainly I can find that run and follow it again. Although I'd always prefer to keep wires in the truck when possible!
Oof yeah that would definitely be heavier wire. I ran my calculations and I think it called for 10 wire, but I jumped to 8 just to be safe when I did mine, but I'm only using a single. You could snap the trim out real quick and try it to see if it would fit before you go through all the trouble. I would go that route first. It's been a while so I don't remember how much room there was, I don't want to tell you wrong. As far as the grommet goes, I removed the battery to get to it. I could feel the area, but I couldn't see it. So I just took the battery out for a better view. I think there was a nipple of sorts on a rubber grommet that had to be snipped off to get the wire through. Used a little soap for lubrication and pulled them through. Comes out under the glovebox.
