If it's an automatic make your own grommet through the clutch pedal cut out. Otherwise there are perfectly suitable grommets on both the driver and passenger side.

I ran my 0awg through the grommet behind the fuse box (passenger side) on my i4 lx coupe, let me know if you have any more questions if you decide to go that route.

I had mine on the alternator but started noticing weird idle issues while playing music but I didn't have any issues before installing my 1500w rms amp. just something to be aware of I guess.

That's pretty epic! As far as running your wire, I'd suggest under your car along the passenger side. There is a black plastic shroud, not sure what it's called, that you can zip tie too and run all the way to the trunk, then drill a hole into the trunk (spare tire well) unless there is a cap there (not sure). Make sure to keep it nice and tight, and there is a guy on here that has ran it like this already.
