Did you mount a speaker under your hood? Why are you running speaker wire through there?

Not meaning to rain on your parade but FYI - speaker cable is not meant to handle continuous current. I believe there may be a possibility of car fires.

I would research it a bit.

No problem, actually. If the wire is the correct gauge for the current it's going to carry, it will carry that amount of current safely.

I'm about to install a Varad underbody LED kit, should I go through the floor or the engine bay? Which would be best?

I ran my underbody LEDs through the floor, due to how much wire I already had running out that engine bay grommet. But I think I would still run it through the floor if I had to re do it. It was easy.
