How easy was it to get through the inner grommet of the firewall?

Did you not have to remove that wiring box with the 3 bolts on the inside of the cab where that grommet in the firewall is? I looked underneath on my truck and it seems to be covering that grommet location

This is the best video on hooking up a CB or Ham radio that I have found on YouTube. I've been trying to find a video for this installation on my 2017 Chevy Silverado. I have one question, I am wanting to include running my antenna by this method also. Will the RG58 also fit thru this grommet? The coax has PL259 male connectors on the ends, which are standard size for most all CB radios. These connectors are about the diameter of a nickel. My Silverado still looks new, and I want a "clean install" that doesn't show any wires. I am going to mount a 5 foot FireStik on the front truck bed wall, then run the coax underneath the truck to the engine, and don't want to remove plastic door molding.

Can you see the wire right away if you use that firewall? Or do I need to remove the box underneath the dash?
