Is there an easy location in the 2023 firewall to route CB power wires? Or do I need to drill a hole?

There's an existing one on the drivers side that has a rubber shroud at the firewall, engine side. I used that location, and just cut an X in the rubber with an X-Acto blade and fed wires through that. They come out high in the driver's side footwell.

I believe there is still a hole under the driver's seat. I found it a bit easier to use that hole when running wires on a 2nd Gen 2.7L for a brake controller install.
