I ran mine through the hole by the fender...it works nicely and the wires can only be seen when you open the driver's side door.

Oh that's a ghetto way! If you have a manual there should be a hole already in your firewall up underneath where your gas pedal is. |

I have an automatic so I drilled a hole in the firewall fo the power wire. It really wasn't that difficult. It's just a tight fit under the steering wheel and the drill bit kept skipping across the metal. It should only take a couple of mins. to do though.

DO NOT DRILL A HOLE IN YOUR FIREWALL!!!!!!! check out my car... the pic is here Just go along the top of the engine bay and there is a little rubber piece that you can poke through... works like a charm... if that link dosent work then just go through my sig.

This is where mine goes through. It's slightly below where the arrow is pointing. Using this spot you can go either straight under the stereo and through the console, under the back seat(under carpet of course) to the amp. OR you can take it from there over to the door jam and back that way. This was the only stock hole I found that would not leave the wire dangling anywhere.
