fuse box??

run power wire up the drivers side of the car(rca's up passenger side, through the grommet by the fuse and to the battery.

just pull up step panels( panels below the door) and push the wire down, run next to the seat and to the trunk..its pretty easy plus that panel pops right off..

I ran mine behind the fuse box, and into the rubber grommet that goes into the firewall, then just route it up and over your strut to your battery. Note: that's for 3.0 - 2.2 the battery is on the other side

On the 2.2 you can run your power wire on the passenger side. You have to get the under-hood fusebox out of the way in order to see the grommet

That's what I did; works just fine - but that's in a 3.0; might be different in a 2.2

Theres nothing wrong with drilling a hole in the firewall, as long as you use something as a grommet to protect the wire from the cut metal. Unless you buy the wiring by the foot, most amp wiring kits will come with a grommet that fits the wire perfectly.
