Default Access through Firewall?

Hey all.
Where is a good access point in the firewall to run a power supply to my amp? I'd prefer to find one on the passenger's side since that is the battery side.

I looked all over earlier, but it was cold, so I didn't want to spend too much time looking.

There is one, pop your hood and look about in line with the passenger side of the console on the firewall. Theres a little oval rubber plug, you can pop that plug off, and drop a wire down into your floor of the passenger seat. What i did was cut a little X in the plug and put the wires through, and then reseated the plug.
