+12v in the boot for sub

You can feed big cable through bulkhead.
As mentioned there is a hole and grommet behind steering wheel that is accessible by removing the plenum cover to the left of the wiper motor.

I didn't want to run across the engine bay though as I did a battery to boot conversion so I made a new hole feed by removing the ecu and pollen filter. It then allows to feed through behind passenger footwell fusebox.
Easy run then into the boot.

I have seen a car begin smoking as the cable melted that was misfitted so I am overly safety concious these days.

So long as fused, it should be fine whatever you use if done correctly but for me if you are going to do a job, do it right, do it once and forget about it.
