Under the car:
1. Shorter Wire
2. Faster (no hiding just zip tieing)
3. Easier
Through the car:
1. Longer wire
2. A pain sometimes hiding

ummm
1. why did u decide longer wire? I'd say running under the car is longer. mine goes in a straight line till the firewall and only goes up and down once each time. and since it goes down less then if u run underneath the car.
2. inside: no zip tieing at all
3. Not
Like i said. For our cars, there is a wiring for the tails running into the back. That means there is already a path, u don't have to make one up yerself.
now reasons for not running under the car in general.
1. Ever saw anything run under the car by factory? (and i mean wiring, o2 sensors and **** that works under the car doesn't count).
2. U drive over some rack or something and manage to tear up the positive cable on some metal piece. Battery dead.
3. Mr. Nice Guy with tin snips coming over to your car, bending over and cutting your power wire cuz he likes to laugh. Voila: u are stuck with a dead car. Not to mention so is yer alarm if u have one.
4. Why in the ****in world would you EVER want to run a part of something that works INSIDE your car OUTSIDE?
