Hey guys,
I have a power inverter which I rarely use but would like to have it in the boot for whenever I may need it, after discovering not so long ago that the Evo's have the battery in the boot there must be space for a rather large wire to go into the engine.
Does anyone know where this would be or the best way to get a wire to the boot?

I've got a 2ga wire running from my battery to the boot to run my amp. Next biggest size would be 0ga. It runs neatly down the right hand side under the inner sill trim and emerges from under the rear 1/4 trim/carpet at the back of the cross frame.
in short, it's not hard to do and you can run pretty big cable.

Right where the curtain air bags are?

Yes the Evo and CJ have different floor pans so there probably isn't a 'proper' spot to run power cables to.
If you jack the car up, take the passenger side wheel off, remove the plastic mud/splash cover and you'll see a grommet going into the car, pull the plastic off the side of the floor in the car's cabin and you'll see the other grommet. There is then room in the cable duct along the side of the car for power cable to be run. Much smarter than going up through the roof...

there is space under those airbags you know. just cause they are there doesn't mean you have to avoid them like the plague.
