Default Installing subwoofer in 2008 accord

Im tryin to help a friend install a subwoofer in his new 08 accord. The problem is that there is one hole on in the firewall and its on the passenger side, when i get inside the car and look up under the dash theres a bunch of stuff under there. Ive already taken the glove box out and theres stuff blocking it behind there too. Anybody run a wire through the firewall on the new accords? Ive done this numerous times on other cars these damn new cars are just so complicated. Any help would be appreciated.

did one on a 07 accord . if i remember correct you got to pull the carpet away form the firewall even then it was a bitch. i think i tape the power wire to the end of a coat hanger and pushed it through the firewall to snake it through to were i could grab it . it was dark out when we ran the power wire so i dont remeber waht the dash look like under there but if i remember correct that is what we did.
